It works natively over local area networks, the internet as an overlay, and is designed for Bluetooth, serial links, and radio. Nodes use Nostr keypairs as their identity — no registration, no servers, just generate a key and join.</p> <p>This release marks the point where the core protocol works end-to-end and is ready for broader testing. It is alpha software: the wire format is not yet stable and will have breaking changes.</p> <h2 id="where-to-find-us-2">Where to Find Us</h2> <p><strong>Repository</strong>: The codebase lives at two official locations:</p> <ul> <li>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/jmcorgan/fips">https://github.com/jmcorgan/fips</a></li> <li>ngit: <a href="https://gitworkshop.dev/npub1y0gja7r4re0wyelmvdqa03qmjs62rwvcd8szzt4nf4t2hd43969qj000ly/relay.ngit.dev/fips">https://gitworkshop.dev/npub1y0gja7r4re0wyelmvdqa03qmjs62rwvcd8szzt4nf4t2hd43969qj000ly/relay.ngit.dev/fips</a></li> </ul> <p>(The fips-network GitHub organization was flagged by GitHub and is under review.

Ethernet transport includes automatic peer discovery — plug into a LAN and nodes find each other without configuration. The transport layer is designed to be extended to Bluetooth, Tor, serial, and radio.</p> <h3 id="dual-layer-noise-encryption-2">Dual-Layer Noise Encryption</h3> <p>All traffic is encrypted twice: hop-by-hop between mesh peers (Noise IK) and independently end-to-end between communicating nodes (Noise XK). Both layers perform periodic rekeying with fresh Diffie-Hellman exchanges for forward secrecy.</p> <h3 id="ipv6-adaptation-2">IPv6 Adaptation</h3> <p>Each node gets a deterministic fd00::/8 IPv6 address derived from its npub.

Here&#39;s how you can help:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Join the mesh</strong>: Build and run a node.
