JURISDICTIONUS
CAUTIONThe marketing site uses consent-gated PostHog analytics and short-lived server logs. Product data practices vary: the MINE app requires an email account and collects device, service, rewards, wallet and security metadata, while some location and mesh metrics stay on-device. Review the policy for the specific Offline Protocol product.

Analysis
OVERVIEW
Offline Protocol combines mesh messaging, an OfflineID identity layer and peer-to-peer payments in one offline-first stack, with 1.1 million dollars raised toward what its own materials call the Sovereign Stack.
LIMITS
The codebase is currently closed-source and investors are undisclosed, and the record notes the identity and reputation layer plus token incentives require trusting the provider and a still-maturing SDK rather than independent verification.
USEFUL FOR
Early adopters of offline mesh identity and payments who accept a closed-source, unaudited stack with a recorded light identity exposure.
