What dreadful marketing drivel on their site.
It would be nice to see a technical overview, but this is absent from their docs. Looking at their modules reference docs the runtime seems to comprise:
- A distributed replicated log
- Peer discover via a distributed hash table
- UDP holepunching to set up direct connections
- A TCP like protocol running over the UDP connection
- Key-based crypto routing (ala wireguard)
I assume there needs to be some servers available to facilitate the holepunching. Not sure how that works.

You can create a phone-to-phone overlay and even puncture carrier-grade NATs.
