Libertaria Executive Digest
Libertaria Executive Digest
For builders with 24-hour brains and infinite curiosity
The Problem We Solve
Digital sovereignty doesn’t exist yet.
You don’t own your identity (platforms do). You don’t own your relationships (they’re rented). You can’t leave without losing everything (vendor lock-in).
Libertaria builds the infrastructure where exit is the default, not a negotiation.
The Stack in 5 Minutes
L0: Transport — Hide in Plain Sight
Problem: Firewalls block VPNs. Deep packet inspection kills privacy. Solution: MIMIC skins camouflage traffic as HTTPS, DNS, or QUIC. Looks like Netflix, works like Signal. Key Concept: “Evade rather than encrypt” — if they can’t identify it, they can’t block it.
L1: Identity — Your Keys, Your Rules
Problem: Usernames/passwords are surveillance tools. “Sign in with Google” means Google owns your access. Solution: Self-sovereign DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) with cryptographic ownership. No platform can revoke your identity. Key Concept: SoulKey — deterministic key derivation. One seed, infinite identities.
L2: Session — Connections That Survive
Problem: Network partitions kill conversations. IP changes break sessions. Solution: Resilient peer-to-peer with automatic reconnection, key rotation, and offline-first design. Key Concept: Exit-first governance — you can fork any conversation without losing history.
L3: Governance — Fork, Don’t Fight
Problem: Democracy = tyranny of the majority. Corporate governance = tyranny of the shareholders. Solution: Chapter-based federation. Local sovereignty with transparent protocols. If you disagree, fork — the protocol supports it. Key Concept: Betrayal economics — defection is mathematically expensive, cooperation is cheap.
L4+: SDK — Build on Sovereign Ground
Problem: Web3 promised sovereignty, delivered speculation. Solution: Tools for building apps that inherit cryptographic ownership by default. No tokens. No hype. Just infrastructure.
Why This Matters (The 30,000ft View)
The old world: Platforms extract rent from human connection. The new world: Protocols enable connection without extraction.
We’re not building a company. We’re building exit infrastructure. When the cage breaks, the tools must already exist.
Key Decisions (Why We Built It This Way)
| Decision | Alternatives | Why We Chose This |
|---|---|---|
| Zig, not Rust | Rust, C++, Go | Explicit memory, comptime, no hidden costs |
| No blockchain | Ethereum, Solana | Chains are just slow databases; we need speed |
| Post-quantum by default | Wait for NIST | Cryptographic resilience is table stakes |
| Kenya Rule | Cloud-first | Must run on $5 Raspberry Pi, offline |
| Tiered licensing | MIT/Apache/GPL | Protect core, enable business, spread ideas |

The Ask
We don’t need investors. We don’t need hype. We need:
- Code reviewers — Zig expertise welcome
- Protocol implementers — Other languages, other platforms
- Exit strategists — Where does sovereignty matter most?
- Writers — Explain this to humans who’ve never thought about cryptographic identity

We do not theorize. We fork the cage.
