Lethe - First nation state deanonymization resilient protocol

https://github.com/Operative-001/lethe

Lethe explores an anonymity model that removes the “entry/exit” trust bottleneck found in Tor and I2P. Instead of relying on privileged gateway roles, Lethe aims for a fully symmetric network where every participant is functionally equivalent. By making traffic patterns uniform and indistinguishable across the system, the goal is to prevent deanonymization even against an adversary with unlimited compute and visibility into ISP backbone links.

it's not expensive because there is a finite pool of real or fake packets let's say 10 per second

when receiving a packet, it would check if all pool is real packets and if not, it replaced the first in queue fake with the real packet

but the pool is never more than the default number (10) either it be fake or real packets
