# DIGEST.md — Libertaria for Humans
|
|
|
|
*The 5-minute briefing for builders, thinkers, and exit strategists*
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## What Is This?
|
|
|
|
Libertaria is **sovereign infrastructure** — tools for humans and AI agents to communicate, identify, and coordinate without platform control.
|
|
|
|
Think of it as: **Signal's privacy + Bitcoin's sovereignty + Tor's censorship resistance**, rebuilt from first principles in Zig.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## The Stack (Top to Bottom)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
L4+ Applications → Your apps inherit sovereignty by default
|
|
L3 Governance → Chapters, federation, betrayal economics
|
|
L2 Session → Resilient connections, offline-first
|
|
L1 Identity → Self-sovereign keys, trust graphs
|
|
L0 Transport → Censorship-resistant, traffic camouflage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Key Innovations
|
|
|
|
### 🔒 MIMIC Skins (L0)
|
|
Your traffic looks like HTTPS, DNS, or QUIC. Firewalls see Netflix; you get Signal-grade encryption.
|
|
|
|
### 🔑 SoulKey (L1)
|
|
One seed → infinite identities. Deterministic derivation means portable, revocable, recoverable keys.
|
|
|
|
### 🕸️ QVL — Quasar Vector Lattice (L1)
|
|
A trust graph that detects betrayal before it happens. Mathematical reputation, not social media points.
|
|
|
|
### 🚪 Exit-First Design (L3)
|
|
Every conversation, every community, every protocol can be forked without losing history. Loyalty is earned, not enforced.
|

## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Clone
|
|
git clone https://github.com/libertaria-project/libertaria-stack.git
|
|
cd libertaria-stack
|
|
|
|
# Build
|
|
zig build
|
|
|
|
# Test (166 passing)
|
|
zig build test
|
|
|
|
# Run Capsule node
|
|
zig build run
|
|
```
|

## Why Not [Alternative]?
|
|
|
|
| Alternative | Why Not |
|
|
|:------------|:--------|
|
|
| **Signal** | Centralized. Can be blocked. Phone number required. |
|
|
| **Matrix** | Complexity explosion. Federation doesn't solve capture. |
|
|
| **Nostr** | No encryption. Spam paradise. Relay capture. |
|
|
| **Ethereum** | 15 TPS. $50 fees. Smart contracts are slow databases. |
|
|
| **Web5/TBD** | Corporate solution, not sovereign infrastructure. |

## Where to Start Reading
|
|
|
|
**5 minutes:** This file (you're done!)
|
|
|
|
**30 minutes:**
|
|
- `README.md` — Full architecture
|
|
- `docs/rfcs/RFC-0015_Transport_Skins.md` — Why we evade rather than encrypt
|
|
|
|
**2 hours:**
|
|
- `core/l0-transport/noise.zig` — See the crypto
|
|
- `core/l1-identity/qvl/` — Trust graph implementation
|
|
- `ONBOARDING.md` — How to contribute
|
|
|
|
**Deep dive:**
|
|
- `docs/rfcs/` — All specifications
|
|
- `DECISIONS.md` — Why we built it this way
|
|
- `blog/libertaria.app` — Philosophy and context
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## The Licenses (Why This Matters)
|
|
|
|
- **Core (L0-L3):** LCL-1.0 — The tribe owns the code. Can't be captured.
|
|
- **SDK (L4+):** LSL-1.0 — Build proprietary apps on top. Your code stays yours.
|
|
- **Docs:** LUL-1.0 — Ideas spread freely.
|
|
|
|
**No CLA.** You keep your copyright. We keep our reciprocity.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Get Involved
|
|
|
|
**Code:** `zig build test` → find failing test → fix → PR
|
|
|
|
**Ideas:** Open an issue. Challenge our assumptions. "Red team" our design.
|
|
|
|
**Spread:** Write about sovereignty. Point people here. Exit is contagious.

## The One-Sentence Pitch
|
|
|
|
> Libertaria is infrastructure for a world where you can leave any platform without losing your identity, your relationships, or your history.
