radio

connectivity for superintelligence. a fork of iroh where every hash — content identifiers, verified streaming trees, relay handshakes — runs through Hemera (Poseidon2 over the Goldilocks field) instead of BLAKE3

github

why

BLAKE3 hashes at 2 GB/s. Hemera reaches ~50–100 MB/s on CPU. the tradeoff: proving a single BLAKE3 hash inside a STARK costs 50,000–100,000 constraints. Hemera costs ~300. this enables:

• storage proofs without downloading content
• verified streaming with Hemera Merkle trees
• private computation over encrypted knowledge graph
• post-quantum security via STARKs

architecture

radio preserves iroh networking (QUIC, radio/hole-punching, radio/relay) and replaces the cryptographic foundation across four strata:

crates

• cyber-poseidon2 — Hemera hash implementation (CPU + GPU scaffolding)
• cyber-bao — radio/bao protocol (Hemera Merkle trees)
• cyber-hash — CLI hashing tool
• iroh-blobs — radio/blob transfer
• iroh-relay — radio/relay servers with Hemera handshakes
• iroh-docs — radio/docs synchronization
• iroh-gossip — radio/gossip protocol
• iroh-willow — radio/willow protocol implementation

status

zero BLAKE3 dependencies remain. 395 tests pass across all crates

in the stack

radio is the data transport layer of cyb. where ipfs uses CIDv1 with multicodec headers, radio uses raw 64-byte Hemera outputs as particle addresses. one hash function, one address space, zero self-describing overhead

connections route through the radio/router (ALPN multiplexer). content is shared via radio/ticket. radio/endpoint radio/discovery resolves public keys to addresses
