Your identity and personal node remain fully sovereign. Garden provides an additional node that replicates the repositories you care about, so even if other public nodes stop replicating them, your projects stay available. Think of it as an extra layer of availability — not a replacement for your node.

Garden is built by many long-time Radicle contributors. The service and its operating entity are fully owned by The Better Internet Foundation, which is the Swiss non-profit that oversees the development of the Radicle Protocol.

We operate a managed Radicle node on your behalf, hosted on Scaleway infrastructure. The repositories you choose to replicate are stored there.

The Radicle protocol already lets you collaborate in a private, peer-to-peer way. If you add a Garden node to your repository's allowlist, we'll replicate that repository too. However, since Radicle repositories are not currently encrypted at rest, the operators of the Garden service may be able to access your content. We plan on working on encryption at rest.

Yes. Each account comes with 5 GB of storage. If you need more, reach out to us and we can discuss a custom option.

Radicle CI is actively in development, and we plan to add support for it, including a hosted version.

Not yet, but we get it and we plan on working on adding anonymous payment options in the future, so you can use Garden without tying your identity to a payment method.
