Hop
What they do
Hop is a delay-tolerant mesh: end-to-end encrypted datagrams that hop device to device — over BLE, Wi-Fi, and the internet — until they reach the person or service you meant. Held, never dropped.
The ambition is a single transport every offline-first app can build on, so connectivity stops being each app's problem to re-solve.
Where we leaned in
- Designed and built the core mesh transport in Rust — routing, end-to-end encryption, and store-and-forward delivery that survives gaps in connectivity.
- Native iOS and Android clients, down to the unglamorous BLE/GATT reliability work that makes device-to-device actually hold under real conditions.
- GitOps infrastructure on Cloud Build and OpenTofu, with a test harness that exercises the mesh across a fleet of identities.
