Reticulum is a cryptography-based networking stack written in Python that builds encrypted, resilient local and wide-area networks over LoRa, packet radio, WiFi, or IP links. It runs entirely in userland without kernel modules, works over high-latency and extremely low-bandwidth links, and provides end-to-end encryption, initiator anonymity, and multi-hop transport without any central control.
Use cases
- build a mesh network over LoRa radios
- create a censorship-resistant communication network
- send encrypted messages over low-bandwidth packet radio
- set up a network without relying on IP infrastructure
- run an anonymous multi-hop transport over off-the-shelf hardware
- build community-owned autonomous networks
- tunnel an encrypted network over the internet
When to choose
- you need networking over very low-bandwidth or high-latency links like LoRa or packet radio
- you want end-to-end encryption and anonymity built into the network layer itself
- you need networks that operate without central oversight, kill-switches, or surveillance
- you want a pure-Python userland stack with no kernel drivers
- you are building sovereign, community-operated communication infrastructure
When to avoid
- you need high-throughput networking for streaming or large file transfers
- you require compatibility with standard TCP/IP tooling and protocols
- you need a mature, standards-based stack with broad vendor support
- your project depends on low-latency real-time communication
