Support MeshHold.
Two ways.

MeshHold is Apache 2.0 — free for any use, including commercial — and built without venture funding. You can donate any amount to keep the project alive, or you can sponsor a specific feature you'd like to see built.

Option 1

Just support the project

Pick an amount — any amount from $1 up. Recurring or one-time. No tiers, no perks, no quarterly call. Just helping keep the public infrastructure on and the maintainer fed.

Pick the channel you already trust. All four amounts feed the same project.

Where it goes

What your money actually pays for.

No founder yacht, no PR agency, no SEO ad spend. Every dollar goes into one of these four buckets.

🛰 Public relays

Three-region VPS infrastructure that lets new users join the public network and pair their first phone without setting up a domain.

⏱ Maintainer time

One minor release every 1–2 weeks. CVE response inside 72 hours. Forum support. Code review for community PRs.

🧪 CI & reproducible builds

Multi-arch runners (amd64, arm64), Android NDK, Windows MSI signing, smoke-test cluster for every release.

🌐 Public infra

Forum, GitHub integrations, blog, and this website. Backed up to MeshHold itself.

No budget?

Other ways to help.

🛰

Run a community relay

Volunteer your VPS as a public bootstrap / circuit-relay node. Federation is what keeps the public network decentralised.

🐛

File good bug reports

A reproducible report with logs is worth more than ten "doesn't work" issues. The bug-report template is on GitHub.
