FORMING

A protocol nobody else can implement is just a product

The spec is open and revised in public. How the reference software is licensed is not decided, and we will not pretend otherwise.

01 / POSTURE

Settled and unsettled

SPECIFICATION Open. Implementable by anyone without permission or fee. OPEN
CONFORMANCE Ships alongside the spec, not behind it. OPEN
REFERENCE GATEWAY Licence not chosen. Listening to implementers first. PLANNED
AGENT RUNTIME Same. It depends who ends up fielding it. PLANNED
02 / CONTRIBUTE

Useful right now

01

Review the frame format and tell us where the header wastes bytes.

02

Bring a net. Your channel plan and traffic profile beat our assumptions.

03

Write a second implementation. Interoperability is the whole point.

04

Attack the threat model, starting with key fill and replay.
