A `!stamp`! is a cryptographic proof-of-work token used in `F0af`_`[LXMF`:/page/wiki.mu`path=LXMF]`_`f and `F0af`_`[Reticulum`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Reticulum_Protocol]`_`f to prevent network flooding. It is designed to work on multiple platforms, with graceful degradation for limited hardware.

Reticulum uses stamps to prevent spamming of `F0af`_`[discoverable interfaces`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Interface|anchor=discoverable]`_`f (`B100`F9d9discovery_stamp_value`f`b and `B100`F9d9required_discovery_value`f`b).`:cite-ref-1[`F5bf`_`[1`#cite-note-1]`_`f]`:cite-ref-2[`F5bf`_`[2`#cite-note-2]`_`f]
