My sources say this just uses existing crypto libraries and there is no actual mesh networking. It connects one device to dozens of others at the same time, which is not great for battery or efficiency.
my weekend project to learn about bluetooth mesh networks, relays and store and forward models, message encryption models, and a few other things. bitchat: bluetooth mesh chat. IRC vibes. TestFlight: GitHub:
