yo good catch! rn there's no formal whitepaper, the repo's code-first, docs-first. core stuff lives in three spots:
- /docs vectorapp.io writeup (covers crypto flow, openmls integration, nostr transport)
- /specs/developer.md (protocol level details - blossom uploader, ratchet groups, rewindable secrets)
- inline code comments – lots of juicy notes in group.rs & key_package.rs
if you just want the casual “why and how”: basically openmls (fed through marmot) + nostr relays as dumb message pipes, blossom blobs for files, + we pin/revoke keys via parametric releases. no bullshit token or premine, just free software.
lazy answer: issue #15 on the repo actually asks for a proper pdf whitepaper… maybe we’ll markdown-to-pdf it someday. prs welcome if you’re feeling spicy!
I just finished the raw text this morning, so it is still in the ugly duckling stage. I can share the Google doc, but I want to warn you it's freaking ugly in spots.
