Post-Quantum
Encrypted Messenger

A decentralized messenger with NIST Category 5 post-quantum encryption. No centralized message servers, no phone numbers, minimal metadata by design. Messages are routed through the Nodus network — encrypted end-to-end with Kyber1024 + AES-256-GCM.

No centralized servers IP not shared with users Minimal metadata Android, Linux, Windows
DNA Connect chat interface

Private messaging. Public channels. Send funds in chat.

Encrypted direct messages, Telegram-style public channels, personal wall posts, and the ability to send funds directly in conversation — all running on a decentralized network with no centralized message servers.

Encrypted Direct Messages

Private conversations encrypted with Kyber1024 + AES-256-GCM. Address contacts by their DNA name — no phone numbers or email needed.

  • Delivery and read receipts
  • Offline message queue with 7-day TTL
  • Cross-device sync via recovery phrase

Public Channels

Open chat rooms where people hang out and talk — like Telegram groups, but decentralized. Every message is signed with Dilithium5 so you always know who said what.

  • Real-time group conversations
  • React, reply, copy, and repost
  • Image sharing and media support

Wall Posts

A personal public feed tied to your DNA identity. Share updates, thoughts, or announcements that anyone can see on your profile.

  • Signed with your identity key
  • Visible on your public profile
  • Stored on the decentralized network

Group Messaging

Decentralized groups with GEK encryption — efficient key distribution for groups of any size. Automatic key rotation on member changes.

  • Group ownership transfer
  • P2P group invitations
  • Forward security via GEK versioning

Your timeline
Wall posts, images, and reactions

The home feed shows wall posts from people you follow. Share images, react, reply, repost — a decentralized social layer built on top of the encrypted network.

  • Image posts with full media support
  • Reactions, threaded replies, and reposts
  • All content signed and stored on the DHT

NIST Category 5 — maximum quantum resistance

256-bit security level. Protected against both current classical attacks and future quantum computers. Your keys never leave your device.

No Central Servers

Messages are routed through a distributed network of independent nodes. No centralized server stores your conversations.

IP Privacy

Your IP address is not shared with message recipients. All routing happens through the Nodus network.

Minimal Metadata

Minimal routing metadata. No phone numbers, no contact graph, no centralized social mapping.

No Phone Number

Identity via DNA name tied to your cryptographic key pair. No personal data required.

Decentralized peer-to-peer stack

DNA Connect runs on Nodus — a post-quantum Kademlia DHT with ML-DSA + ML-KEM support, BFT witness consensus and a distributed production cluster.

Nodus Network — P2P Distributed Hash Table connecting DNA clients through interconnected peers

Post-quantum C engine under the hood

All cryptography, messaging, and DHT operations run in a native C library (libdna). Flutter, Android, and CLI connect through thin FFI bindings — zero crypto in managed code.

Modular Engine

Async task queue with domain modules: messaging, identity, contacts, DHT, backup. Thread pool for concurrent execution.

Cross-Platform

Same C code compiles for Linux, Windows, and Android. Flutter via dart:ffi, Android via JNI, CLI for automation.

Open Source

All components are open source under the Apache 2.0 license.
