01Replication & network reach

Radicle is peer-to-peer: every repo can live on many nodes at once, and the more nodes carry it, the more resilient it is. This is how replication looks across the 9,297 known public repositories and 671 nodes the network currently spans.

Repos announced to radicle.at, by peer
Repositories each peer announces, as seen in this seed's routing table. radicle.at leads only because it announces every repo it holds; seeds running a restrictive policy announce far fewer than they store, so this understates them rather than ranking who holds the most.

This seed's policy is to mirror the whole network; the ~16% of public repos it does not hold are mostly the stale, abandoned and testing repos auto-pruned by radicle-seed-prune (it would otherwise sit near 99%), plus a few not-yet-fetched or unreachable ones. Most of the 671 nodes are small personal seeds; a few dozen larger seeders carry the bulk, and this one is among them. 99 repositories appear on only one node in this routing view; for those, a seed like this can be the difference between a project staying reachable and quietly disappearing.

Nodes by size
Repos each node announces. A few dozen large public seeds carry the network; most nodes are small, personal, or known only by address.
How nodes connect
The network is privacy-conscious: most nodes reach peers via a domain, Tailscale, or Tor rather than a public IP. Filter to seeds (nodes announcing repos).
Active vs dormant nodes
Of the nodes that announced a reachable address, how recently each was last seen. Measured against the freshest announcement we hold.
Where locatable nodes are
Countries of the nodes that expose a clearnet IP (geolocated offline), top 12 of 26 shown with node counts. Most nodes stay private, so this is a partial view.

The peer-to-peer network this seed can see spans 2,003 nodes, but only 671 actively announce repositories and just 42 are large public seeds carrying most of it. It leans heavily private: hundreds of nodes connect over Tor or Tailscale, and of the few exposing a public address, most sit in Germany, the US, and the rest of Europe.

Most collaborative repositories
Issues and patches (Radicle's native in-repo code review) per repo. Automated patch-only repos are excluded.

Radicle collaboration is code-centric but balanced: slightly more patches than issues (roughly 1.2 to 1), and only about 9% of seeded repos carry any native collaboration. Discussion concentrates in a few actively-developed projects led by heartwood; the long tail of mirrors holds code but little in-repo activity.

Active collaborators
Distinct people who created or touched (commented on, reacted to, revised) an issue or patch within each window. Any interaction counts, so this tracks who is still engaged versus one-off contributors.
Active collaborators over time
Distinct people active within each trailing window, sampled daily. The gap between the wider and tighter windows is the churn.

Collaboration has a committed core and a long tail of drop-ins: of 805 people who have ever opened or touched an issue or patch here, only about 223 were active in the last three months and 89 in the last month. The rest contributed once or twice and moved on, the usual shape of open-source participation.

02The repositories we seed

This seed mirrors public repositories from across the Radicle network so they stay available even when their authors are offline. Every repo links to its page on app.radicle.at.

7,830

Repository size distribution
Most repositories are small. 69% are under 1 MiB; only 12 exceed 1 GiB.
Largest repositories on disk
Almost all are mirrors of large external open-source projects. Click a bar to open it in the explorer.
Collection growth over time
Total storage (GiB) and repository count, sampled daily. The disk is gardened weekly by radicle-seed-prune, an open tool that safely prunes stale, lower-value mirrors; that is the recent step down.

Half of all repositories are under 0.36 MiB (effectively just metadata and a few commits), while a dozen full-history mirrors of major projects carry most of the weight.

03Traffic & visitors

The seed answers two kinds of web traffic: the explorer at app.radicle.at (the pages people open) and the API at seed.radicle.at (what the explorer and other tools call). Both are dominated by automated clients.

Explorer traffic, by client type
app.radicle.at · people vs. crawlers vs. other automated clients.
API traffic, by client type
seed.radicle.at · search-engine crawlers alone are the majority.
Explorer requests over time
The gap between total and human traffic is crawlers and automated scanners. A scanner burst in mid-2025 briefly inflated the totals. Switch to weekly to smooth the daily noise.

By volume the public web surface is mostly machines: search engines indexing repos, plus a constant background of automated scanners probing for things that do not exist here. Stripped of that noise, genuine human visits are a steady few thousand a month.

04What gets browsed

Of the thousands of repos seeded, only about 168 were ever opened in the explorer. Repositories featured on the landing page draw the most attention. Click any bar to open the repo.

Featured repositories pinned on the landing page
Pinned on app.radicle.at, so they appear by default to every visitor and earn the lion's share of views.

The featured set, led by editor integrations like radicle-vscode-extension and radicle-jetbrains-plugin, dominates explorer views by design, the most visible placement on this explorer. Switch to Organic to see what visitors discover on their own.

05Who visits

Based only on the standard User-Agent string every browser sends and the request's network origin. No fingerprinting, no accounts, no cross-site tracking.

06Speed & reliability

The explorer is a static app and serves instantly. The API is fast for normal use, with a long tail when crawlers walk the full git history of the largest mirrors.

API response time over time
Median, 90th and 99th percentile response time per day (log scale). The p99 spikes are crawlers walking deep git history of the giant mirror repos.
API responses by status
The bulk are successful. Hover any bar for what the code means.
Use this seed

Adding this always-on seed helps your repos and their updates propagate faster across the network. Any public repo you publish gets mirrored here too, an extra always-online copy that others can still fetch when your own node is offline. It also speeds up fetching the repos this seed already holds.

Connect once from your terminal:

rad node connect z6MkjDYUKMUeY58Vtr8dGJrHRvnTfjKWVGCBYJDVTHXsXzm5@seed.radicle.at:8776

Or make it permanent by adding it to preferredSeeds in ~/.radicle/config.json:

"preferredSeeds": [
  "z6MkjDYUKMUeY58Vtr8dGJrHRvnTfjKWVGCBYJDVTHXsXzm5@seed.radicle.at:8776"

This is one of the oldest and largest public mirrors on the Radicle network, online since early 2024 and carrying about 84% of the network's known public repositories. It keeps projects reachable and quietly powers the explorer and API that the ecosystem and third-party tools rely on, around the clock, for free.

How these stats are made · privacy
Notes & limits. These numbers cover only the public repositories this seed mirrors and the web requests to its own explorer and API: private repositories are invisible to it, peer-to-peer activity that never touches the web (repos fetched or synced directly between nodes, including over Tor or other private transports) is not counted, and anything opened on a different explorer or seed is counted there, not here. Read this as a partial, single-seed view, not the whole network. "People vs. robots" is inferred from request patterns and User-Agents; sophisticated scanners that imitate browsers mean human counts are, if anything, slightly overstated. Country is approximate, from an offline IP database, by distinct IP. One network address is not one person. Repository view counts reflect full page loads only. Replication and node counts come from this node's routing table at snapshot time and shift constantly; nodes with restrictive seeding policies announce fewer repos than they hold, so "largest seeder" rankings are a lower bound. "Official Radicle" repos are identified by shared delegate identity with the core protocol repos. "Known to the network" (9,297) exceeds "seeded here" (7,830) because the routing table tracks repos this node does not fully store. The node has run since 15 March 2024; repository stats begin 16 March 2024, web logs from April 2024, and the storage-size series from late May 2024.
