  1. Transport Neutrality: Iroh QUIC as primary transport, with pluggable support for BLE, Wi-Fi Direct, LoRa, TCP relays, and custom radio layers.
  2. Zero Centralization Requirement: Every node can act as an autonomous router, storage node, or relay without depending on centralized servers.
  3. Rust Memory & Concurrency Safety: The entire core engine and DSP pipeline is implemented in pure, zero-cost-abstraction Rust.
