# Bearers
|
|
|
|
The **bearers** (REQ-019) are how a Nomad reaches the mesh. OpenYield ships
|
|
six bearers through a single **Unified Bearer Layer**: the mesh does not
|
|
care which bearer a Holder uses — first-to-deliver-wins, and a Nomad can
|
|
switch bearers without switching identity. The [Mirror](../shared/watchers-mirror.md)
|
|
mirrors the canonical state to every bearer so a Nomad can read the mesh's
|
|
real return on any of them.
|
|
|
|
## The six bearers
|
|
|
|
| Bearer | Live in v0.2 | What it is |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| **Internet** | yes | the default bearer; OY Chain over the open internet. |
|
|
| **OY-BLE** | yes | Bluetooth Low Energy; short-range, peer-to-peer, no phone plan. |
|
|
| **OY-WiFi-Direct** | yes | WiFi Direct; local mesh without an access point. |
|
|
| **OY-LR** | yes | Long Range radio (LoRa-class); long-distance, low-bandwidth, surveillance-resistant. |
|
|
| **OY-SAT** | coming (v0.3 P4) | satellite; offline coverage via a satellite constellation. |
|
|
| **OY-QR** | coming (v0.3 P4) | signed QR code; one-shot offline transfer scanned by a peer. |
|
|
|
|
## What this means for a Nomad
|
|
|
|
A Nomad does not pick "the right bearer". The four already-live bearers
|
|
(Internet, OY-BLE, OY-WiFi-Direct, OY-LR) cover the everyday situations:
|
|
on the open internet, in a room with another Holder, in a local group with
|
|
no router, or kilometers away with no infrastructure. OY-SAT and OY-QR
|
|
extend that to true-offline paths and are coming in the next phase.
|
|
|
|
## Surveillance resistance
|
|
|
|
OY-LR, OY-BLE, OY-WiFi-Direct, OY-SAT, and OY-QR are designed to be
|
|
surveillance-resistant: a Nomad can send or receive value without a
|
|
phone plan, a SIM, or a custodial on-ramp. The bearer is the transport; the
|
|
[Reach](reach.md) is the identity; the [Stash](stash.md) is the storage. None
|
|
of them depends on a custodial position.
|
|
|
|
## First-to-deliver-wins
|
|
|
|
The Unified Bearer Layer is first-to-deliver-wins: if a Nomad sends a
|
|
transfer over two bearers at once, the mesh accepts the first one that
|
|
arrives and drops the duplicate. This is why a Nomad can switch bearers
|
|
mid-transfer without double-spending.
|
|
|
|
See [Watchers & Mirror](../shared/watchers-mirror.md) for how the canonical
|
|
state is mirrored to every bearer, and [Maps & Pay](maps-pay.md) for how a
|
|
Nomad uses a bearer to find and pay for services. |
