Monero - private, permissionless, decentralized, p2p, digital cash system.

Reticulum - cryptography-based networking stack designed to build secure, decentralized, and resilient local or wide-area networks using readily available hardware. It operates independently of traditional internet protocols (like IP), enabling communication under adverse conditions such as high latency and extremely low bandwidth with:

Forced e2e encryption and forward secrecy
Initiator anonymity
Multi-hop and self-configuring routing
Heterogenous network support
Decentralized addressing

Basically internet 2.0

Arweave - private, permissionless, decentralized, p2p, permanent data storage/server.

Thanks, though Reticulum and Arweave can be a bit difficult to use, not sure what exe to download and what platforms are supported
