Every device is more useful when it can work with the devices around it.
Offline Protocol lets machines find each other, securely share data, and request capabilities they don’t have themselves, even without internet. A robot can ask a nearby camera to inspect something. A technician’s device can retrieve equipment history on site. A fleet can share updates locally and sync back to central systems when connectivity returns.
We give developers the infrastructure to build these interactions into their products: identity, discovery, secure communication, reliable delivery, and shared state in one stack. The demo below brings that together: agents authorizing, purchasing, and delivering a real hardware capability entirely over local connections.
Let's go offline.
I just made an agent on my computer pay for an image capture and processing session on a connected hardware device that was authorized to provide this capability by another agent on another device. I accomplished all of this without any internet connections between these devices.
The possibilities this opens up are endless, autonomous vehicles can coordinate with drones for route guidance, connect to sensors to receive weather updates, or coordinate with each other to exchange skills in a swarm. Productivity robots can talk to personal assistants to understand user preferences, or receive outage data from field technicians to perform repairs, all without the need for an active internet connection or expensive backhaul solutions.
Useful intelligence has moved onto devices; autonomous systems are expanding from isolated machines into fleets; and connectivity continues to fragment across Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular, satellite, and specialized radios. Those networks extend reach, but none supplies the shared application contract required to decide who may act, what capability is available, which route should carry the request, how state converges after disconnection, and what evidence proves completion.
Offline Protocol packages the missing contract as one integrated stack and abstracts multiple transports with automatic failover; OfflineID provides device-owned identity that peers can verify locally; Messaging Layer Security protects sessions; serverless discovery lets a device advertise, find, and invoke a capability without DNS or a cloud directory; reliable delivery adds acknowledgment, retry, deduplication, retention, and replay; and the shipped CRDT data layer synchronizes application state through compact deltas and deterministically merges concurrent offline edits.
Our protocol has reached 350,000+ cumulative deployed device instances, with 11,500+ network clusters active in the trailing 30 days, and 12,000+ SDK package installs. Within a month of starting our commercial motion, we've already signed 4 LOIs, 2 paid pilots, 6 more in technical scoping, and have several enterprise level distribution partnerships in negotiations.
I have historically been too quiet and not outspoken enough about our work, a VC recently told me I am too humble about our trajectory and technology, and so for once I want to really share how confident I feel about the progress we're making and the brand new paradigm of machine coordination our technology opens up.

Not every form of disconnection looks the same. Sometimes there is no conventional network at all. Devices are separated by kilometers, infrastructure is damaged or absent, and short-range radios cannot close the distance. Other times, internet access exists, but the available route is filtered, fragile, centrally observable, or dependent on infrastructure the application does not control.
We added Reticulum and Nostr to our Mesh SDK to address both conditions.
Reticulum extends Offline Protocol into long-range and infrastructure-sparse environments through LoRa, serial, TCP, UDP, I2P, and other interfaces. Nostr adds a decentralized relay path across reachable internet infrastructure without requiring every application to depend on one central endpoint.
Together with Bluetooth LE, Wi-Fi Direct, and internet transport, applications now have five network paths behind one coordination layer for identity, routing, reliability, security, service discovery, and telemetry.
This infrastructure serves the systems being deployed today, but it is also built for what comes next. Agents, robots, drones, vehicles, sensors, and on-device models will need to discover, authenticate, exchange data, and coordinate across networks that change underneath them.

Offline Protocol is building the infrastructure for software to keep working even when the internet doesn’t, exactly when access matters most. Excited to see what others build now that the Mesh SDK is open source.
A year ago, Offline Protocol was a thesis: software should not stop working when the internet disappears.
Currently, that thesis runs across 350,000+ devices in 80+ countries and 10,000+ active mesh clusters. Our SDK has crossed 9,000 downloads this year and now supports deployment paths across iOS, Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Today, we are open sourcing the Mesh SDK behind it.
This is infrastructure for the present, but also for what comes next. As agents, robots, drones, vehicles, sensors, and on-device models multiply, billions of new peers will need to discover, verify, communicate, and coordinate without routing every local interaction through the cloud.
The disconnected edge needs a programmable peer layer for identity, privacy, transport, trust, and coordination. Offline Protocol is that layer, and now our infrastructure is open.

Been a long time coming. Spent ~1.5 years working with the @OfflineProtocol team and on a lot of what eventually became this product, so it’s pretty special seeing the Mesh SDK finally open up for everyone to build on.
Censorship-resistant, offline-first software has a much bigger role to play than people realize.
And somehow, one of the things I’m most excited about from Offline still hasn’t even been announced yet 👀
Congrats to the team and @sxtvik . Excited to see where people take this.

This has been a long time coming, and for the past 2 years of building this company, this moment is what I've been looking forward to the most.
A product that must wait for reconnection before it can discover, verify, exchange, or coordinate is still built around the assumption that the internet will come back soon. Connectivity becomes unavailable during disasters and deliberate shutdowns. It becomes unreliable across rural routes, remote operations, crowded events, industrial sites, and developing infrastructure. It becomes expensive across satellite backhaul and constrained mobile networks. Even in the most connected cities, it disappears underground, inside buildings, and at the exact moment demand overwhelms capacity. These are not isolated edge cases. They are the operating conditions of a large part of the world.
Offline Protocol exists to make connectivity a capability rather than a prerequisite.

we just open sourced our mesh sdk - the first developer product coming out of the Offline Protocol infra stack.
it lets you build apps that work without an internet connection, without having to deal with the painful nuances of native mobile networking or figure out and configure different transports yourself.
really excited to see what people build with it. 🫡

Cool to see peer to peer networks finally starting to take off!
@jack @bitchat is an application that uses Bluetooth mesh for nearby communication and Nostr for wider delivery, and has become quite popular.
Offline Protocol is a more expressive infra layer: an SDK that lets other teams add peer discovery, multi-hop delivery, encrypted sessions, transport selection, file transfer, service discovery, reliability, and opt-in offline data telemetry to their own applications, infrastructure, and devices.
Wishing them the best!
