SirrChat

Read full description

Sirr is a hidden and secure communication tool that requires no phone number or real world identity to register, with all communications end to end encrypted by default. Built on the decentralized SirrMesh communication topology, any organization or individual can deploy communication nodes, and all nodes are fully interconnected. Even if individual nodes are blocked, or official operations cease entirely, Sirr can continue to serve everyone, self propagate, and evolve truly enabling a communication network that endures. It is a security first communication system designed for the worst of times, without reliance on any central service.
