Guardian Net — Mission Control

GUARDIAN NET _

THE FUTURE IS DISTRIBUTED

◼ GUARDIAN NET — RESILIENCE OPERATIONS

Records are being erased. Archives taken offline. History rewritten in real time.
We build the countermeasure: open-source tools that put power back in the hands of communities. IPFS pins that can't be deleted. Bitcoin timestamps that can't be forged. LoRa mesh networks that work without internet, cell towers, or permission. Every tool here is designed for people facing real threats — journalists, activists, archivists, and communities resisting surveillance and censorship.

THREAT INDEX

LIVE Gun.js P2P relay connected

What's real: P2P data sync via Gun relay servers. Real-time presence and chat.

What's simulated: Nothing — Gun.js is fully operational.

LIVE IPFS Real CIDs + Pinata pinning via /api/ipfs/pin

What's real: CIDs are real content addresses. Gateway fetching works. Live pinning via Pinata API. Pin status tracking via /api/ipfs/pin-status.

What's simulated: Nothing — IPFS pinning is now live via Pinata.

LIVE OpenTimestamps LIVE — Real OTS calendar submission via proxy

What's real: SHA-256 hashing in your browser. Server-side proxy submits hashes to real OTS calendar servers. Verification against real Bitcoin blockchain data via mempool.space API.

What's simulated: Nothing — OpenTimestamps is fully operational via server-side proxy.

HOW IT WORKS

Browser computes SHA-256 hash of your document
Hash is sent to server-side proxy which submits to OTS calendar servers
Calendar servers aggregate hashes into a merkle tree anchored to Bitcoin
Verification checks against real Bitcoin blockchain data via mempool.space API

LIVE Nostr Connecting to relays...

What's real: Keypair generation and storage. WebSocket relay connections. Event publishing and subscribing on #gn-v2 channel.

What's simulated: Nothing — Nostr relay connections are live.

Your pubkey: —

EDUCATIONAL LoRa Design tool only

What's real: Circuit Lab for designing LoRa node schematics. Component catalog is accurate.

What's simulated: No actual LoRa hardware communication. Globe nodes are from registry data.

STEPS TO MAKE REAL

Flash Meshtastic firmware to ESP32 + SX1276/SX1262 hardware
Connect via Web Serial API in browser
Bridge mesh messages to Gun.js for web relay
Deploy solar-powered nodes for persistent coverage

WHERE DO YOU FIT IN?

I WANT TO ARCHIVE

Make truth undeletable. Learn to pin documents across a distributed network and timestamp evidence to the Bitcoin blockchain. When records disappear, yours won't.

★ START HERE — QUESTS

I WANT CENSOR-PROOF COMMS

Build communication channels that survive shutdowns. Peer-to-peer chat with no central server to seize, mesh radio networks that work off-grid, and a dead man's chain that keeps the network alive even when individuals can't.

I WANT TO BUILD HARDWARE

Open-source hardware for communities facing surveillance. Design LoRa mesh radios, solar-powered relay nodes, and off-grid sensors. Real schematics, real parts lists, shareable via IPFS.

No technical background needed. Learn how these tools work, why they matter, and what they can't do. Contribute in 5 minutes. Every person who understands this tech makes the network stronger.

Real-time map of the resistance network. Every IPFS archive node. Every LoRa mesh relay. See who's online, where coverage gaps exist, and how the network heals when nodes go dark.

WITNESS CHAMBER

Timestamp evidence to the Bitcoin blockchain. If a regime deletes records tomorrow, you can prove they existed today. Cryptographic proof, no intermediary — math is the only authority.

Serverless peer-to-peer chat that no one can shut down. Built on Gun.js mesh — every browser IS the server. Share IPFS evidence links, coordinate actions, stay connected when centralized platforms go dark. Not end-to-end encrypted by default.

DEAD MAN'S CHAIN

Automated succession protocol for activists at risk. If someone goes dark for 48 hours, their designated successor inherits their role and data. The network never breaks — even when individuals are silenced.

Open-source hardware design for communities under surveillance. Build LoRa mesh radios, off-grid sensor networks, and communication relays that work without cell towers or internet. Design it, share it, build it.

GUARDIAN QUESTS

Learn to defend democracy with real tools — not theory. Each quest teaches a skill: pin a document, timestamp evidence, build a mesh node. Honest threat models so you know exactly what each tool can and can't protect you from.
