Decentralized self-hosted communication tools, based on advanced modern P2P and Mesh technology, and new cryptographic tools. The new identity system built by key-medata-subscription relationship, etc., can self-organize networks and infinite topologies, without worrying about security problems that have existed in various history such as key malicious collisions. End-to-end encrypted communication, and only your designated nodes and servers can be used. Your data can not pass through anyone's devices, and personal information security is the primary goal. Support all the functions that all a chat software should have, private chat - group chat - voice call - video call - file transfer - Bluetooth communication - Wi-Fi communication - relay communication - and more! Allow access to AI Agent dialogue and common artificial intelligence dialogue scenarios. Bluetooth communication SDK will give you stronger offline communication ability. In addition to chatting, you can use API to access the Internet of Things and other functions. There are more! We have been designing and polishing such communication tools since 2024, and more design and improvement will be later!
