An exploration of Wi-Fi Aware for Bitchat (and other ad-hoc networks) - HackMD
Bitchat is an open source peer-to-peer mesh communication network started in the summer of 2025 by Jack Dorsey. It's available on iOS, Android, and MacOS. Others have explored beyond this, with a terminal client and a self-powered ESP32-based mesh relay node. In theory, Bitchat enables cross-platform peer-to-peer messaging even when there's no cellular or Wi-Fi network available. In practice, it's not proven to be reliable in an offline environment. However, I believe it could be, and it's clear that the team agrees and is actively working toward that end.

Impossible connections become possible. Establish secure channels between systems in private networks that previously could not be connected because it is either too difficult or insecure.

End-to-end encrypted relays for OCapN — Spritely Institute
Creating a direct connection between any two computers (not just from client to server) over the internet is notoriously difficult. Many home networks are behind NATs which prevent new inbound connections. Sometimes these NATs are from the ISP (carrier-grade NATs) which are impossible to work around with port forwarding and/or UPnP. While hole punching techniques can break through NATs, it's far from guaranteed. Thus, we need something that works in the general case: relays.

Keyhive: Local-first access control
Keyhive is a project exploring local-first access control. It aims to provide a firm basis for secure collaboration, similar to the guarantees of private chat but for any local-first application.

Reticulum Network
Reticulum is the cryptography-based networking stack for building local and wide-area networks with readily available hardware. Reticulum can continue to operate even in adverse conditions with very high latency and extremely low bandwidth.
Secure MCP Tunnel | OpenAI API
Connect private or on-prem MCP servers to supported OpenAI products with an outbound-only MCP tunnel, without exposing them to the public internet.
