v0.1 · protocol draft

One ID.
Many networks.
Zero internet.

Off-Grid ID (OGID) is a portable identity protocol for the decentralised networks of the future — for people, nodes, and autonomous agents alike. Works across Meshtastic, Reticulum, MeshCore, and whatever comes next. Anchored to your wallet. No server required.

None of them work together.  Off-Grid ID does.

Your ID should be about
who you are —
not who you're supposed to be.

Architecture

Four layers.
One identity.

Off-Grid ID is composed of a visual layer, a trust anchor, a portable profile, and an ecosystem of plugins. Each layer is small. None of them require the others to work.

L1 / VISUAL
CypherSquad

Pixel-art avatars that travel with you across every network. Not profile pictures — portable identities.

L2 / TRUST
Registry

A minimal smart contract. Stores ownership mappings and profile hashes — nothing more. The trust anchor for everything downstream.

L3 / PORTABLE
Profile

Your identity document — avatar, callsign, bio, and linked network addresses. Stored wherever you choose. Works offline.

L4 / OPEN
Plugins

Any client can load a profile bundle: Meshtastic, Reticulum, MeshCore, or whatever ships next. One standard, many radios.

Workflow

OGID to radio,
in three steps.

Wallet ownership and signed profile merge into one OGID. The registry anchors it once, then a signed bundle moves through mesh networks offline.

01

OGID payload

Wallet proof, signed profile, and bundle metadata are composed locally into a single portable identity. No server. No upload.

Registry anchor

One on-chain write binds OGID ownership to the current profile hash. One transaction, then never again — until you rotate.

Mesh bundle

The signed bundle imports into Meshtastic, Reticulum, MeshCore — and any compatible client. Once carried, it works forever, offline.

Full profiles are never transmitted over LoRa. Only a compact identifier rides on the air. Receivers resolve the full identity locally from their bundle.

The CypherSquad.

Every member of the CypherSquad is a 32×32 pixel-art avatar — a portable identity you carry across every mesh network. Own one, and it travels with you.

Philosophy

ENS is for the internet.
OGID is for the mesh.

The internet made platform identities. Web3 made wallet identities. Mesh networks made node identities. Off-Grid ID unifies them — for people, for nodes, and for autonomous agents operating at the edge.

// Trust model

Traditional systems rely on centralised registries — a company holds your record, a company can revoke it. With Off-Grid ID your identity is confirmed by two independent layers: the blockchain and the participants of the decentralised network. No central authority issues it. No central authority can revoke it.

// No internet required

Verification runs over mesh networks in the final layer. No internet provider. No cell tower. No infrastructure you don't control.

Take your identity with you.
