Reticulum Guide
AlphaInteraktive Erklärungen im Sinne des Zen von Reticulum: souveräne Netzwerke, Destinations statt Adressen, Verschlüsselung standardmäßig.
Dieser Guide ist Alpha. Schritte, Interaktives und Formulierungen können sich ändern und sind nicht immer genau. Für verbindliche Angaben nutze das offizielle Reticulum-Handbuch und die Projektdokumentation.
Zen and design goals
Why Reticulum exists: permissionless networks, medium agnosticism, and encryption by default.
Destinations, not addresses
How Reticulum names endpoints with 16-byte destination hashes and destination types.
Identities and keys
How a Reticulum identity becomes a portable cryptographic self you can take offline.
Announces and multi-hop paths
How public keys and reachability spread through signed announces, hop by hop.
Cryptography by default
Primitives and the identity-encryption flow used for private single-destination traffic.
Packets across hops
How encrypted packets move hop by hop, and why plain traffic stays local.
Links and sessions
How encrypted links turn a destination into a reliable session for requests and transfers.
Messaging and LXMF
How chat-style apps sit on Reticulum destinations, announces, paths, and encrypted delivery.
Interfaces and carriers
Reticulum rides any digital carrier. Learn what that means and what Reticulum-Go supports today.
