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

# 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.

Questions? Read AGENT.md if you're an AI, or open an issue if you're human.
