Site owners meet the crawler only through other sites' robots.txt files, where it appears as Timpibot. Timpi gives no opt-out route, and the crawler page paths we tried returned 404. Type [Crawler operator](https://agentreadycrawlers.com/vendors/by-type/crawler-operator/) Homepage [timpi.io](https://timpi.io) In one line Operator of an independent search index built by a decentralised network of contributor nodes; its crawler appears in robots.txt files as Timpibot, but Timpi publishes no crawler documentation for site owners. Last read 2026-11-05 ## What Timpi does for this layer ### From the vendor's own pages Timpi sells four products on its own index: Timpi Data (APIs for developers), ORCA (workflow orchestration), Timpi Ads ("Advertising for humans and AI agents") and Timpi Search. ([timpi.io](https://timpi.io/)) Timpi's DePIN page tells contributors to buy a Node Access NFT, assemble the recommended hardware and register a node to earn rewards in $NTMPI tokens. ([timpi.io](https://timpi.io/depin)) ### Claims the vendor makes about itself Timpi's About page claims an index of more than 2.2 billion web pages and more than 100 billion indexed data items. ([timpi.io](https://timpi.io/about)) Timpi says its infrastructure runs on more than 1,700 decentralised nodes with more than 1 PB of distributed storage and 16,000 TFLOPS of compute. ([timpi.io](https://timpi.io/about)) Timpi's comparison post names Collector, Guardian and GeoCore nodes and says a component it calls the Timpi Autonomous Protocol coordinates crawling and indexing. ([timpi.io](https://timpi.io/timpi-vs-other-search-engines)) Timpi's blog says its node network once indexed over 5 billion pages in 48 hours during tests, and that its nodes run on machines already in use by contributors rather than in data centers. ([timpi.io](https://timpi.io/timpi-vs-other-search-engines)) ### What our crawl saw Requests for timpi.io/timpibot, /crawler and /bot returned HTTP 404 on 2026-11-05, and the timpi.io sitemap read the same day lists no crawler or bot page.
