there should be more blockchains running over mesh technologies like LoRA

there should be more blockchains running over mesh technologies like LoRA this way you can keep the consensus and payments running even when internet is down polynomial commitments (ZK) can be used to store-and-forward transactions

you can use something like meshtastic to easily setup a network of end nodes and relays this also enables additional use-cases, like verifiable geolocation/proximity, and locale-restricted access

electromagnetic waves propagate at a ≈constant speed (speed of light), which means that you can estimate the distance between two communicating end nodes, or between a node and a relay similar approaches are used mitigate against range extender attacks for remote car unlocking

i just ran across meshtastic now, so cannot attest to the feasibility of implementing LoRA networks with it - but from the documentation it looks straightforward you can even write your code in Python! 🐍
