EchoChat is a next-generation messenger built on zero-knowledge architecture. Unlike conventional messengers, EchoChat stores absolutely no messages, metadata, or user information on any server. ZERO KNOWLEDGE โ ZERO COMPROMISE - End-to-End Encryption: X25519 + AES-256-GCM cryptography - No Registration: No phone number, no email, no account required - RAM-Only Server: No database, no persistence, nothing stored - Ephemeral Sessions: Automatic deletion after 72h of inactivity - No Metadata: No logs, no timestamps, no connection history HOW IT WORKS Create or join a session with a simple 6-character code. Share it with your contact. Start messaging with military-grade encryption. When you're done, everything disappears. WHO IS IT FOR? - Journalists & Whistleblowers needing secure source communication - Lawyers, Doctors & Professionals with strict confidentiality requirements - Businesses protecting trade secrets and sensitive negotiations - Privacy-conscious individuals who refuse to be tracked THE DIFFERENCE Most messengers claim privacy but still collect metadata โ who you talk to, when, how often. EchoChat collects nothing. Our server is a "dumb relay" that forwards encrypted packets without reading, storing, or analyzing anything. Data that never exists cannot be stolen, subpoenaed, or sold. EchoChat โ Because true privacy is not a feature. It's a foundation.
