Radicle 1.0 launches to pioneer open-source collaboration

Radicle, the open-source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack, has launched Radicle 1.0, marking a significant milestone in the protocol’s evolution.

This follows its beta debut in late 2020 and the alpha version in 2019. Radicle 1.0 is poised to revolutionize the way developers publish and distribute open-source code, AI models, and research.

Conceived as a decentralized alternative to centralized forges such as GitHub and GitLab, Radicle enhances these systems with a decentralized identity system, advanced gossip protocol, and integrated social artifacts, forming a self-hosted network for code collaboration.

The protocol’s creators emphasize the importance of combating the growing centralization of software products, which threatens developers’ autonomy over their identity and data.

What Radicle 1.0 co-founder said?

“Software shapes our reality and will continue to do so. We need a neutral place where software can be built, and only an open protocol can provide that. Radicle is our answer to that – a sovereign code forge that gives users full autonomy and ownership of their data,” explained co-founder Alexis Sellier.

Designed to offer a neutral environment where users retain complete ownership of their identity and data, Radicle empowers developers to establish the rules of their code universe, ensuring a platform that respects user sovereignty.
