    Just use mTLS via QUIC, it’s standardized, secure, future proof and has implementations in tons of languages and supports proper certificate checks and that whole ecosystem around it which they apparently tried to reinvent. It’s such a great protocol for these use cases, I don’t get why it’s not used more.

      I don't see how mTLS would work for Radicle or other decentralized systems because, as far as I understand, both parties need to have their certificates signed by a shared root.
