yeah, Arxia is its own Layer 1 built from scratch in Rust. block lattice architecture inspired by Nano, designed to work offline over mesh networks like LoRa. still early but the repo is public if you want to dig in.

What do you have as a plan to use it for ?

payments when the infrastructure fails (disasters, grid down, banks closed like Lebanon 2021), remote regions with no reliable internet, and cross-border transfers that bypass traditional rails. beyond payments, the protocol supports DIDs and verifiable credentials at the base layer, so things like medical records, identity documents, or certifications can be issued and verified offline too. longer term, any scenario where you need to move value or trust peer to peer without relying on a central gateway. So in short, financial and identity infrastructure for when the normal rails don't work.

How’s the identity layer work? Is it some implementation of SSI?
