Also, Tangled is VC-funded. I cannot find information about Radicle, but considering the authorship is not advertised on their website, and that P2P is not easily monetizable, I would bet it is not VC-funded.

All in all, seems like an awesome project and instantly more trustworthy and rugpull-resistant than Tangled.

yeah the Radicle protocol is fully owned and governed by a Swiss non-profit.

quite ironic, radicle seems to have raised 7m$ from "radworks", some sort of crypto foundation.

that being said, why is it being not monetizable a good thing? their website says radicle has been in development for 4 years already. without more money in the bank, how would they continue to build the thing?
