+#### Mesh Networking
+
+Create a decentralized mesh network where devices can communicate even without direct connectivity:
+
+```bash
+# Start a mesh network node
+lanet mesh start
+
+# Start a mesh network node with custom settings
+lanet mesh start --port 5050 --max-hops 15
+```
+
+Send messages through the mesh network:
+
+```bash
+# Send a message through the mesh network to a specific node ID
+lanet mesh send --target a1b2c3d4-5678-90ef-ghij --message "Hello Mesh Network"
+
+# Send an encrypted message through the mesh network
+lanet mesh send --target a1b2c3d4-5678-90ef-ghij --message "Secret mesh message" --key "secret-key"

+# Send a signed message through the mesh network

+```

+## Mesh Network
+
+The mesh networking feature provides decentralized communication capabilities:
+
+- **Auto-discovery**: Nodes automatically find each other on the network
+- **Multi-hop routing**: Messages can be routed through intermediate nodes
+- **Self-healing**: Adapts to changing network conditions and lost connections
+- **Store and forward**: Messages persist until they can be delivered
+- **End-to-end security**: Messages remain encrypted across multiple hops
+- **Verification**: Digital signatures ensure message integrity through the mesh
+
+Ideal for:
+- IoT networks where devices may not have direct connectivity
+- Ad-hoc networks without fixed infrastructure
+- Networks requiring high resilience and redundancy
+- Applications needing peer-to-peer communication
+
 ## Configuration
 
 Lanet can be configured with several options:
