FAQ
What makes Ekko Chat's messaging secure?
Ekko Chat ensures security through end-to-end encryption for all messages, including text, photos, and files. Your identity is a cryptographic key pair generated on your device, and messages are protected before leaving your device, meaning not even Ekko can read your conversations.
How does Ekko Chat work without an internet connection?
Ekko Chat utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy for offline message delivery to nearby contacts within 100 meters. This allows messages to be exchanged silently without requiring cell towers or Wi-Fi, making it useful in areas with limited connectivity.
What are the different transport paths Ekko Chat uses?
Ekko Chat employs six independent transport paths: Bluetooth for nearby offline delivery, Mesh Gossip for peer forwarding, Distributed Hash Table for decentralized routing, Tor Onion for high-privacy delivery, Peer Link for fast direct connections, and Private Relay for always-on push delivery.
Can I create group chats with Ekko Chat?
Yes, Ekko Chat allows you to create encrypted group chats. You can invite contacts, share files, and set disappearing message timers for the entire group, with member management for adding or removing participants.
