FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vyges Launches VyCatalog as the First Open Registry for Silicon IP

The home of free silicon IP — 125+ machine-readable IPs and growing

San Francisco, CA — May 1, 2026 — Vyges today announced the public launch of VyCatalog, the first open registry for silicon IP. With 125+ open-source silicon IP blocks indexed at launch, VyCatalog brings to chip design what PyPI, npm, and Crates.io brought to software: a single, machine-readable surface for discovering, evaluating, and integrating reusable building blocks.

Every IP block in VyCatalog is described by the Vyges Metadata Standard — a JSON Schema (Draft 2020-12) that captures interfaces, registers, parameters, target PDKs, integrity status, and license — and rendered as an FDA-style IP Nutrition Label that engineers and AI agents can both consume in seconds. The label normalizes across IPs the same way an FDA food label normalizes "salt" vs "sodium bicarbonate" — different underlying source, one readable surface.

The launch catalog covers the building blocks of modern SoCs: RISC-V CPU cores (including Ibex); system buses including APB, TileLink Uncached Lightweight (TL-UL), AXI, and OBI; peripherals such as UART, SPI, I²C, and GPIO; DSP and math primitives including Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and CORDIC; SRAM and memory macros; and mixed-signal blocks including analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and temperature sensors.

"Software has had decades of registries that make code reuse easy — PyPI, npm, Crates.io. Silicon never had an equivalent. Engineers either bought from incumbent IP vendors or rebuilt the same blocks every project," said Shivaram Mysore, Founder and CEO of Vyges. "VyCatalog closes that gap. A proprietary registry would cap supply; an open one compounds it. We chose open. The public registry is free, and stays free."

For organizations with proprietary, embargoed, or licensed IP that cannot sit in a public catalog, Vyges also offers VyCatalog Enterprise — the same registry engine and the same metadata standard, deployed inside the customer's perimeter (on-premise, customer cloud, or Vyges-managed). One engine, one metadata model, two configurations. The public catalog scale-tests the enterprise deployment; fixes flow in both directions; there is no fork.

VyCatalog is available today at https://vyges.com/products/vycatalog/. The Vyges Metadata Standard, which underpins the catalog, is published at https://vyges.com/technology/metadata-spec/. Vyges CLI — the package manager that consumes VyCatalog the way npm consumes npmjs.org and pip consumes PyPI — is in early access; contact us for access.

About Vyges

Vyges builds and licenses fab-ready SoC IP, commissions silicon, and operates the first open registry for silicon IP. Founded in 2025, Vyges replaces $2–5M and 6–9 months of outsourced integration with weeks-not-months delivery, anchored on the Vyges Metadata Standard — the machine-readable model that turns silicon IP into composable, governed, AI-agent-consumable artifacts.

Vyges' two paid product lines are silicon (fab-ready SoC IP licensing and commissioned silicon) and VyCatalog Enterprise (private catalogs for proprietary IP, deployed on-premise, in your cloud, or Vyges-managed). The public registry is VyCatalog — free and open, anchored on the Vyges Metadata Standard. The developer toolchain that consumes VyCatalog is also free: VyContext (AI-IDE extension), VyBox (browser-based development environment via GitHub Codespaces), and Vyges CLI (the package manager for silicon IP, in early access).
