What Is a Radio Mesh?
A radio mesh is a wireless network in which each device communicates directly with nearby devices using encrypted radio pulses. Messages and data hop across nodes until they reach their destination, forming a dynamic self-healing grid. If one path fails, another instantly takes its place. ENTINET uses this mesh architecture to eliminate the need for telecom towers, internet service providers or central relay points. The network expands organically — the more people participating, the more coverage and capacity it gains.
Independent Communication
Through the meshnet, Entify devices can exchange secure messages, identity attestations, and proof data without any internet connection at all. Devices link automatically within range, forming clusters that span from small local groups to entire regions as nodes multiply. This enables a truly independent communication system that cannot be shut down, censored or surveilled by external entities. Optional local substations can also be deployed to extend reach further while remaining privately owned and operated.
Location as Consensus
One of ENTIFY’s key breakthroughs is turning physical proximity into a consensus mechanism. As each device exchanges short encrypted pulses with nearby nodes, the network can measure relative distance and direction. Multiple confirmations across nearby devices create a triangulated proof of presence — a spatial signature that verifies the device is real and locally present. This method forms a lightweight consensus layer based not on computation or capital, but on real-world physical presence verified by the mesh itself.
Proofless Blockchain
Building on location consensus, ENTIFY introduces a proofless blockchain — a distributed ledger that requires no mining, no stake requirements, and no energy-intensive validation. Because presence and identity can be proven through triangulated radio exchange, every ENTIFONE and node can verify and record events without heavy computation. The result is an ultra-light ledger that can be stored in full on every ENTIFONE. This solves long-standing blockchain challenges of scalability, speed, decentralisation, and environmental cost, making the ledger fast, efficient and accessible across the network.
Personal Protection
The meshnet also serves as a digital protection layer for each user. Because the mesh captures real-time spatial signatures, it can detect patterns associated with coercion, forced movement, or tampering. Users can activate a silent distress trigger that sends encrypted alerts to trusted nodes or local responders, along with triangulated location proofs and optional encrypted media. Trusted responders can assist immediately.
This system allows the network to act as a situational early warning and evidence recorder without storing personal data or compromising privacy — a shield woven into the communication fabric itself.
A Living Trust Network
In ENTINET, trust is distributed and human-anchored. Each participating node is tied to a verified living identity created through the Entify affidavit and stored in the identity vault. This means every device and user in the mesh represents a real, conscious individual. Over time, these connections form a trust network based on verified presence and behaviour rather than algorithmic profiling or centralised reputation scores. This creates a self-governing, voluntary ecosystem of secure interactions, shared infrastructure, and reinforced privacy.
