Your hardware. Your data. Your network. Your rules.


The Blueprint

NeXuS is built on the "Sane, Simple, Secure, Stealthy, Beautiful" philosophy. The system architecture is designed for hybrid sovereignty and digital resilience.

Read the Authoritative Blueprint


❓ What Is NeXuS?

NeXuS (Network eXchange Universal System) is a CLI-first, privacy-native OS layer built on hardened Alpine Linux Edge.

No systemd. No bloat. No clearnet by default.

All traffic routes through Tor + I2P + Medusa from boot. Local AI runs on the node — no cloud, no telemetry, ever. The mesh survives infrastructure collapse via Yggdrasil + Reticulum.

NeXuS is an active build. The privacy and transport layer is working. The economy layer is in design.


✅ What Exists Today

Component Status What It Does
🏔️ Alpine Linux Edge ✅ Running Hardened base OS, OpenRC, no systemd
📡 Tor + obfs4 + Snowflake + WebTunnel ✅ Running Censorship-resistant transport
👻 I2P (i2pd) ✅ Running Garlic routing, hidden services
🔀 Medusa Proxy ✅ Running 5-circuit rotating Tor load balancer
🌐 Yggdrasil ✅ Running Encrypted IPv6 mesh overlay
📻 Reticulum ✅ Running LoRa / radio / off-grid mesh
🔒 nftables ✅ Running All traffic darknet by default, no leaks
🔍 dnscrypt-proxy + unbound ✅ Running Zero clearnet DNS
📦 Podman rootless ✅ Running No root daemon anywhere
🤖 Ollama + aichat ✅ Running Local AI, zero cloud
🖥️ cage + foot + tmux ✅ Running CLI-first default session
🎮 Hyprland ✅ Running GPU desktop — beta tested
🔧 Full CLI toolkit ✅ Running fzf, bat, rg, neovim, htop, tmux...
