{Metallica}

{Metallica} is a decentralized transportation protocol that treats movement as a form of speech. Built on Bitcoin and Nostr, it lets riders, attendants, and clinics coordinate directly, without apps, brokers, or gatekeepers. Each ride request is a signed message: “I exist, I need to go.” Open-source tools like Nodelets, LoRa bridges, and Lightning payments enable resilient, local service, especially for ADA riders and underserved areas. Managed by a nonprofit, {Metallica} is built to outlast platforms, reject rent-seeking, and empower communities to own their access.
