Every design decision was made to minimize trust requirements.
Keypair-based authentication. No PII required. Your identity belongs to you, not a corporation.
ECDH key exchange ensures messages are encrypted before they ever touch the network.
No central servers. Gun.js mesh network distributes data across peers.
WebRTC P2P voice for 1-on-1. LiveKit SFU scales for group calls.
Decentralized file storage means no single point of failure or censorship.
Built with Tauri. Ships at ~15MB, idles at ~80MB RAM. Runs everywhere.
Discord now requires government ID verification. Their 2025 data breach exposed tens of thousands of IDs. We built something different.
There's nothing to breach because there's nothing to store.

| Data ownership | Discord owns it | Homeserver admin | You own it |
| Encryption | Partial | Optional | E2E by default (DMs) |
| Infrastructure | Centralized | Federated | Peer-to-peer |
Free. Open source. No telemetry.
