Frequently asked questions

bunpm is a connected developer platform for Bun and npm-compatible packages, Rust and native artifacts, Git repositories, releases, automation, marketplace tools, jobs, contracts, payments, and mail.

Create a free account, verify your email, and choose a starting surface: browse a registry, connect the CLI, create a repository, join an organization, or explore developer marketplace products.

Yes. Package and Git workflows use familiar concepts, while the web dashboard and native CLI connect identity, permissions, notifications, releases, and audit history.

No. Registration and account verification are free. Optional subscriptions, private collaboration, repository plans, marketplace products, and transactions are confirmed separately.

Create an account, choose the relevant package ecosystem and name, then publish with the bunpm CLI or supported registry flow. Ownership, metadata, versions, artifacts, and release history stay connected.

Package owners and explicitly authorized organization or team members can publish versions or change access. Permissions are evaluated for each package and action.

Published versions are addressed separately from mutable catalog metadata. Release, integrity, signature, and trust records identify the exact artifact clients receive.

Yes. Public and private access are distinct package settings, and optional paid terms are shown before private or commercial capabilities are enabled.

Supported artifacts can carry integrity, signature, provenance, runtime, documentation, advisory, and trust metadata for install and review workflows.

The bunpm registry uses $-namespaced package ownership, such as $acme/lib, so registry origin and ownership remain explicit.

Yes. The bunpm CLI resolves packages from both the bunpm registry and npm registry, while preserving the registry and package identity used for each install.

Beyond registry packages, the marketplace can distribute skills, commands, agents, developer tools, services, jobs, and commercial artifacts with access and transaction workflows.

Package pages and account dashboards expose versions, releases, downloads, runtime targets, documentation, advisories, trust evidence, subscriptions, and operational history.

Registration and account verification are free. Optional subscriptions cover specific private, team, analytics, support, repository, or commercial capabilities; marketplace products can have their own prices.

Billing starts only after you choose a paid product and confirm its price, period, payment method, and terms. Creating an account does not activate a subscription.

Recurring products can be managed from account settings. The product page shows renewal state, access dates, and the effect of cancellation before you confirm it.

Available methods are shown during the exact subscription or marketplace flow and may include an invoice or bunpm wallet payment. Do not send funds outside the payment details shown in your account.

Accounts support two-factor authentication, backup codes, trusted-device management, session controls, scoped credentials, permissions, and audit history. Use a unique password and enable 2FA for sensitive publishing and payment actions.

Package ownership, repository permissions, marketplace contracts, wallets, and payment actions are separate controls. The relevant page shows the current owner, access scope, transaction, and revocation options before a sensitive action is confirmed.

Device management lets you see and manage trusted devices for your account. You can revoke access for specific devices if you lose a device or suspect unauthorized use. This is available from Settings under Security. Keeping your device list up to date helps protect your account.

We process your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We use your information to provide the service, secure your account, and improve the product. We do not sell your personal data to third parties for marketing. For more details, see the Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

Notification preferences live in your profile. Available delivery channels can be connected or removed there, while in-app notifications remain visible from the dashboard.

Notifications can cover packages, repositories, releases, mentions, organizations, jobs, contracts, marketplace activity, payments, mail, account security, validation, and runtime operations.

Eligible accounts can access referral links and program statistics from the Referral page. Reward eligibility, regions, qualifying actions, and current terms are shown inside the program.

Open the Referral page after login, copy the account-specific link, and review the current program terms before sharing it. The dashboard reports qualifying activity separately from ordinary registrations.
