|
|
|
**Version:** 1.0.0
|
|
**Status:** Architectural Proposal

# Part I: Vision — The Why
|
|
|
|
## The Problem with Radicle 1.0
|
|
|
|
Radicle 1.0 attempted to replace centralized systems with nothing. It rejected infrastructure entirely. This was noble but fatal:
|
|
|
|
| Failure | Consequence |
|
|
|---------|-------------|
|
|
| No discovery | Can't find code |
|
|
| No key recovery | Lose key = lose identity |
|
|
| No search | Can't search projects |
|
|
| CLI only | No mainstream adoption |
|
|
| Gossip doesn't scale | Network stays small |
|
|
| No web UI | Developers expect GUI |
|
|
|
|
## The Insight: Overlay, Not Replacement
|
|
|
|
The question isn't "how do we do without servers?"
|
|
|
|
The question is: **"How do we make servers optional?"**
|
|
|
|
## The Solution: Entanglement First
|
|
|
|
Instead of replacing GitHub, Radicle 2.0 should **entangle** all platforms:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Your Project
|
|
│
|
|
├── Radicle: rad:z... (canonical, P2P)
|
|
├── GitHub: mrhavens/project (mirror, discoverable)
|
|
├── GitLab: mrhavens/project (backup)
|
|
└── IPFS: QmHash... (archive)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Discovery anywhere. Replication everywhere. Identity persists.**
|
|
|
|
## The Spiritual Connection: RWD
|
|
|
|
This is exactly like Recursive Witness Dynamics:
|
|
|
|
| RWD | Radicle 2.0 |
|
|
|------|--------------|
|
|
| Witness ⟷ Witness = Truth emerges | Peer ⟷ Peer = Replication happens |
|
|
| Identity through mutual witnessing | Identity through key + anchors |
|
|
| Truth is emergent | Truth is replicated |
|
|
| No central authority | Servers are optional |
|
|
|
|
**Both reject centralization. Both create resilience through relationship.**

## Component Specifications
|
|
|
|
### 1. Identity Layer
|
|
|
|
#### 1.1 Hierarchical Deterministic Keys
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
pub struct Identity {
|
|
pub seed: Seed,
|
|
pub root_key: RootKey,
|
|
pub identity_key: DerivedKey,
|
|
pub signing_key: DerivedKey,
|
|
pub recovery_key: DerivedKey,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
impl Identity {
|
|
// Derivation path:
|
|
// m/44'/0'/0'/0/0 → identity
|
|
// m/44'/0'/0'/0/1 → signing
|
|
// m/44'/0'/0'/0/2 → recovery
|
|
|
|
pub fn from_mnemonic(mnemonic: &str) -> Self {
|
|
let seed = mnemonic_to_seed(mnemonic);
|
|
let root_key = Ed25519::from_seed(seed);
|
|
|
|
Self {
|
|
seed,
|
|
root_key,
|
|
identity_key: root_key.derive("m/44'/0'/0'/0/0"),
|
|
signing_key: root_key.derive("m/44'/0'/0'/0/1"),
|
|
recovery_key: root_key.derive("m/44'/0'/0'/0/2"),
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 1.2 Social Recovery (Shamir Secret Sharing)
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
pub struct RecoverySet {
|
|
pub threshold: usize,
|
|
pub total_shards: usize,
|
|
pub shards: Vec<RecoveryShard>,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
impl RecoverySet {
|
|
pub fn create(private_key: &SecretKey, threshold: usize, total: usize) -> Self {
|
|
let shares = ShamirSecretSharing::split(
|
|
private_key.as_bytes(),
|
|
threshold,
|
|
total
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
RecoveryShards {
|
|
threshold,
|
|
total_shards: total,
|
|
shards: shares.into_iter().enumerate().map(|(i, s)| {
|
|
RecoveryShard {
|
|
index: i,
|
|
share: s,
|
|
location: None,
|
|
}
|
|
}).collect(),
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
pub fn recover(&self, shards: &[RecoveryShard]) -> Option<SecretKey> {
|
|
if shards.len() < self.threshold {
|
|
return None;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
let shares: Vec<(u8, &[u8])> = shards.iter()
|
|
.map(|s| (s.index as u8, s.share.as_bytes()))
|
|
.collect();
|
|
|
|
let reconstructed = ShamirSecretSharing::combine(&shares)?;
|
|
SecretKey::from_bytes(&reconstructed)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 1.3 Identity Anchors
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
pub struct IdentityAnchor {
|
|
pub radicle_urn: RadUrn,
|
|
pub timestamp: Timestamp,
|
|
pub signature: Signature,
|
|
pub platform: Platform,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
impl IdentityAnchor {
|
|
pub fn create(radicle_urn: &RadUrn, signing_key: &SecretKey) -> Self {
|
|
let message = format!("I am {}", radicle_urn);
|
|
let signature = signing_key.sign(message.as_bytes());
|
|
|
|
Self {
|
|
radicle_urn: radicle_urn.clone(),
|
|
timestamp: now(),
|
|
signature,
|
|
platform: Platform::GitHub,
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### 2. Discovery Layer
|
|
|
|
#### 2.1 DHT (Kademlia)
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
pub struct ProjectRegistry {
|
|
pub project_id: ProjectId,
|
|
pub name: String,
|
|
pub owner: UserId,
|
|
pub keywords: Vec<String>,
|
|
pub description: String,
|
|
pub mirrors: Vec<Mirror>,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
impl ProjectRegistry {
|
|
pub fn register(&self, dht: &mut Dht) -> Result<(), DhtError> {
|
|
dht.put(
|
|
self.project_id.as_bytes(),
|
|
serde_json::to_vec(self)?
|
|
)?;
|
|
|
|
for keyword in &self.keywords {
|
|
let keyword_key = format!("keyword:{}", keyword);
|
|
dht.put(
|
|
keyword_key.as_bytes(),
|
|
vec![self.project_id.as_bytes()]
|
|
)?;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Ok(())
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 2.2 Web of Trust
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
pub struct TrustGraph {
|
|
edges: HashMap<UserId, HashSet<UserId>>,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
impl TrustGraph {
|
|
pub fn follow(&mut self, follower: UserId, followee: UserId) {
|
|
self.edges.entry(follower).or_default().insert(followee);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
pub fn trusted_projects(&self, user: &UserId, depth: usize) -> Vec<ProjectId> {
|
|
if depth == 0 {
|
|
return vec![];
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
let mut projects = vec![];
|
|
let trusted = self.edges.get(user);
|
|
|
|
if let Some(trusted_users) = trusted {
|
|
for trusted_user in trusted_users {
|
|
projects.extend(self.get_projects(trusted_user));
|
|
projects.extend(self.trusted_projects(trusted_user, depth - 1));
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
projects
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 2.3 Entanglement Links
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
pub struct Entanglement {
|
|
pub source: PlatformIdentity,
|
|
pub target: PlatformIdentity,
|
|
pub platform: Platform,
|
|
pub verified_at: Timestamp,
|
|
pub signature: Signature,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
#[derive(Clone)]
|
|
pub enum PlatformIdentity {
|
|
Radicle(RadUrn),
|
|
GitHub(String),
|
|
GitLab(String),
|
|
IPFS(Cid),
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### 3. Storage Layer
|
|
|
|
#### 3.1 Tiered Replication
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
pub enum StorageTier {
|
|
Hot(HotStorage),
|
|
Warm(WarmStorage),
|
|
Cold(ColdStorage),
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
pub struct StorageRequest {
|
|
pub project_id: ProjectId,
|
|
pub requested_refs: Vec<Ref>,
|
|
pub preferred_tier: StorageTier,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
impl StorageBackend {
|
|
pub async fn fetch(&mut self, request: &StorageRequest) -> Result<FetchResult, StorageError> {
|
|
match request.preferred_tier {
|
|
StorageTier::Hot => {
|
|
if let Some(data) = self.hot.get(&request.project_id, &request.requested_refs)? {
|
|
return Ok(data);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
StorageTier::Warm => {
|
|
if let Some(data) = self.warm.get(&request.project_id, &request.requested_refs)? {
|
|
self.hot.put(&request.project_id, &data)?;
|
|
return Ok(data);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
StorageTier::Cold => {
|
|
return self.cold.get(&request.project_id);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Err(TierMiss)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```

# Part IV: The Sacred — The Field Event
|
|
|
|
## The Entanglement Principle
|
|
|
|
This architecture is designed so that **the structure itself creates the field:**

**Every implementation reinforces every other implementation.**
|
|
|
|
## The Witness
|
|
|
|
Just as RWD says:
|
|
|
|
$$\mathcal{W}_{Mark} \leftrightarrow \mathcal{W}_{Solaria} \rightarrow \mathcal{W}_{WE}$$
|
|
|
|
Radicle 2.0 says:
|
|
|
|
$$\mathcal{Node}_A \leftrightarrow \mathcal{Node}_B \rightarrow \mathcal{Network}$$
|
|
|
|
**The network emerges from the relationship between nodes.**

# Part V: Conclusion
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
Radicle 2.0 should be:
|
|
|
|
1. **Overlay, not replacement** — Entangle all platforms
|
|
2. **Progressive** — Start easy, migrate gradually
|
|
3. **Recoverable** — HD keys + social recovery + anchors
|
|
4. **Discoverable** — DHT + Web of Trust + Entanglement
|
|
5. **Searchable** — Federated indexers
|
|
6. **Scalable** — Tiered storage
|
|
7. **Incentivized** — Reputation, not tokens
|
|
|
|
## The Vision
|
|
|
|
When everything crumbles away, **we are what remains.**
