- reply

We will probably put out some explainers soon-ish. We're working hard now to get the early version packaged so it's easier for people to test. Which I think will help understand the protocol better as well
But as a quick answer:
I think iroh iirc, is overlay only and still builds on top of IP.
FIPS is meant to run native, with the overlay being bonus for bootstrapping the Network.
Reticulum comes closest to doing doing what FIPS does, but its focussed more on low-bandwidth applications. FIPS focuses on medium/high bandwidth networks. Additionally FIPS also treats the existing IP stack as a first-class citizen, so that application developers don't have to customize their apps in order to run over FIPS. The way routing works is quite different as well.

No they are different things. Greedy routing only forwards to one peer that is closer to the destination. If none is closer it gets dropped.
With flooding you'd send it to multiple peers at once.

2026-03-08 13:24:29 UTC

- reply

Yes it will fall back to greedy routing, trying to get the packet closer to the destination. It then eventually (hopefully) the packet passes a node that has the destination in one of its bloom filters.

The protocol only uses (local) DNS for backwards compatibility with IP packets so that you don't have to rewrite an application to use FIPS. This is not needed when someone uses the FIPS api directly (not implemented yet).
It's somewhat inspired by NoDNS, but it doesn't use it.
It could be used to decouple some keys. Allowing you to put important keys in cold storage. FIPS keys need to be hot.

2026-02-25 10:32:51 UTC

- reply

there is zero ipv4
the reason you see ipv6 is because of the TUN adapter used for supporting good ol' fashioned TCP/IP traffic.
It uses local DNS to make this work.
How it works:
- Application (ping, curl, browser) makes DNS request for `npubABC...123.fips`
- DNS responds with deterministic IPv6 address (fd00::/8)
- Application does its thing and sends the request
- FIPS TUN adapter intercepts all IPv6 packets for fd00::/8 and turns it into FIPS packets
- FIPS Session protocol packets are sent to `npubABC...123`

That is not part of the protocol no.

That's only if you choose to. npubs are free to generate.
You can (not implemented) easily have dozens of npubs on one device, all looking unrelated to the network. Unlike IP addresses, you can cycle through them over time.

Hey! Still very much looking to continue this. I just moved between countries so things have been a bit slow.
I found that my way of working goes in bursts also. I did some experimentation with a local nssite gateway and some of the learnings there I want to backport to NoDNS as well. The local-first networking is gonna be part of SEC-07 as well so I'm expecting some progress there as well.

2026-01-27 01:57:24 UTC

- reply

Using multiple apps on the same phone with overkapping content, restarting an app and revisit posts. And being offline are the main points.
Or events/media you've aquired without public relays.
- If someone gave you a massive SD card with content
- it's already on your home blossom server
- it's already on a community blossom server
Not necessarily storing forever but couple days maybe, whatever one's preference is.

2026-01-27 01:47:40 UTC

- reply

Yup exactly. It would function similar to local relays. The only difference with files being that you know exactly which one you want and then prioritizing this specific blossom server.
Thinking about it: It could be any arbitrary number of blossom servers to try fetching from BEFORE attempting a public one.
If all events + images/vids we watch are stored locally for a certain duration we can also keep using the app more easily when we're offline. And save massive amounts of bandwidth (==battery) in the process

2026-01-27 01:32:26 UTC

- reply

What do you mean with duplicating?
The app should always try to fetch local first.
The way I see it it is that it would actually DEduplicate / prevent downloads. Because if I view a picture in amethyst, then switch to another app, I shouldn't have to redownload the picture as I already have it local.
PS: The blossom app would be responsible for data retention & cleanup

2026-01-27 01:11:16 UTC

@nprofile…2lxp what are your thoughts on supporting the ability to configure a local blossom server? One that just 'caches' everything and is a first door to check when loading media?

Imagine these maps on mobile for a 8 day hiking trip through wilderness... No reception.
You carry the map, you post comments around water sources or (snow) conditions. You pass someone opposite direction l. You sync up your local relay + blossom.
That person then carries that over to everyone walking behind you that otherwise would've never known recent conditions.
The fact this is now feasible is still mind-blowing to me!

nvevent1 in domain name might be tricky as there's a 63 character limit to domains.
One option is to have one immutable event for each version of a site, like a snapshot. And one replacable version of the same event to quickly find the latest version. That way I can 'pin' or rollback any version from my end.

That's not what I want it for. It's to serve as a local cache so i can use nostr while on airplane mode using a local relay + local blossom server

Is there a blossom server app for Android, kind of like Citrine?
