anon0mesh is an open-source tool that lets you send messages and money from person to person without needing a cell tower or Wi-Fi.

By using hidden phone signals (Bluetooth), long-range radios (LoRa), and offline signatures, anon0mesh helps you stay connected even when the main network is blocked or broken.

The Problem

The modern internet is shaped by centralised chokepoints: ISPs, cloud platforms, and mobile carriers. anon0mesh aims to be the antidote to our dependence on 4G-5G networks. it was born from the realization that internet shutdowns can be used as tools of political suppression, and cellular networks can crumble during natural disasters like hurricanes or earthquakes.

  • Censorship: Internet shutdowns are documented in more than 180 countries.
  • Financial Gaps: Even in advanced regions, emergency situations routinely overwhelm cellular networks, preventing access to on-chain funds.
  • Identity Linkage: Most mobile applications require a phone number or email, creating a persistent traceable identity.

Three Pillars

  1. Privacy by Default: Everything is locked. No personal info needed to start.
  2. Always Connected: Your messages jump from phone to phone until they reach their destination. The network "heals" itself as people move.
  3. Community Powered: Regular people earn rewards for helping move data and keeping the mesh strong.

Why anon0mesh?

anon0mesh addresses fundamental vulnerabilities with a "mesh-first" philosophy. Messages propagate through a self-organised network of nearby devices.

  • Works Everywhere: Use it at festivals, stadiums, or remote areas where cell service fails.
  • Offline Payments: Sign a trade while offline and send it through the mesh network.
  • Private Wallets: Create temporary wallets for extra safety.
  • Hidden Calculations: Sensitive data is processed privately so your balances stay secret.
  • Smart Helper: An AI assistant that lives on your phone and works without the cloud.
"Mesh First, Chain When It Matters. anon0mesh creates a self-organised network of nearby devices that falls back to internet relay only when reachable."

Core Differentiators

How anon0mesh compares to other privacy-focused tools:

Featureanon0meshNormal Apps
Offline Support✅ (Phone-to-Phone)❌ No
Payments✅ Yes❌ Needs Bank/Wi-Fi
Private Computing✅ Yes❌ No
Smart Assistant✅ Lives on Phone❌ Needs Cloud

Use Cases

Survival & Disasters

The tool you wish you had in a hurricane or earthquake. Coordinate aid when cellular networks are destroyed.

Privacy Sovereignty

Access stablecoins and send messages in sensitive environments without relying on traceable phone numbers.

Off-Grid Payments

Execute peer-to-peer token swaps at music festivals, stadiums, or remote areas with zero internet or cellular coverage.

Emergency Messaging

Type a "Help Me" message with a SOL attachment. Only the receiver sees your encrypted message, but anyone can relay it for a fee.
