YAKMESH Documentation
Post-quantum secure P2P mesh networking — 30-layer protocol stack, zero external trust.
What is YAKMESH?
YAKMESH is a post-quantum secure distributed mesh network with a self-verifying validation oracle. Every node cryptographically proves its own integrity — no certificate authorities, no central servers, no external trust. The 30-layer protocol stack provides everything from content addressing and identity verification to encrypted communication, consensus, and hardware-accelerated compute sharing.
ML-DSA-65 signatures, ML-KEM-768 key exchange, YPC-27 checksums — no classical crypto.
Self-verifying oracle hashes every byte. NAMCHE 7-gate verification replaces CAs.
Addressing, encryption, routing, identity, chat, voice, video, storage, consensus — all built in.
