When you operate a high-volume IoT or M2M platform.
What it is
EdSSA Fleet in one paragraph.
EdSSA Fleet extends Nano to multi-tenant deployments where a single operator must verify thousands or millions of authenticated clients through one verification path. The matching engine stays lock-free; the verification cost stays sub-microsecond per request, regardless of fleet size.
When you need it
Three signals you should look at this tier.
When per-client handshakes would exhaust your concurrency budget.
When you need to authenticate populations measured in tens of thousands without scaling pain.

Nano is the foundation. Fleet, Swarm, Relay, Edge, and Orbit compose on top of it. Most deployments use two or three tiers together.
Fleet runs on top of Nano. It composes naturally with Edge (validating relay) for high-throughput deployments and with Swarm where individual fleet members operate as a coordinated group.
