Sovereign code infrastructure
Radicle 🌱 enables developers 🧙 to securely 🔐 collaborate on software over a peer-to-peer network 🌐 built on Git.
Peer-to-peer
A network powered by seed nodes. No central servers. No censorship.
Designed for the CLI
Manage and publish projects from the command line.
Own your identity
Link your ENS name to create a sovereign developer identity.

Check out code published on the Radicle network
Get started with the Radicle CLI.
The Radicle CLI is a set of command-line tools that allow developers to manage software and publish code securely on the Radicle network.

What’s next
Radicle is an early and evolving project.
Users can self-host or publish repositories to a network of hosted seed nodes. The network is still in the process of decentralizing and is prone to change.
With gossip activated, user-deployed seed nodes can find each other and share their data without relying on an intermediary. The network is resilient and censorship-resistant.
Any user can host their content locally and have it discovered by the Radicle network. At this stage, the network has become fully self-sovereign.
