TortugaNet

TortugaNet is a solar-powered community network built so a town keeps talking when the uplink does not: Nostr for identity and content, Reticulum for encrypted mesh transport underneath it. We wrote the prototype for the open-source core — the protocol library everything else is built on.

• Isomorphic TypeScript core — event handling, identity, synchronisation, validation — with every platform detail pushed behind adapter interfaces
• Adapters for browser, Node and React Native, so one protocol library runs in a tab, on a server, and on a handset without forking
• Deterministic key derivation from a single seed across two curves — secp256k1 for Nostr identity, Curve25519 for the Reticulum transport
• Reference clients against that core: a browser PWA, a terminal app, and node server software
• Laid out as a public monorepo so outside contributors can pick up bounty-eligible work without needing the private pieces
