⬅️ Vision
To create a quantum-safe, decentralized identity protocol that empowers individuals with true ownership and control over their digital identities, while enabling global coordination through secure communication tools.
About
About CPUNK Protocol
CPUNK is a post-quantum identity and messaging protocol built on NIST Category 5 cryptography. It combines decentralized DNA identities, secure communication, and community governance into one coherent ecosystem.
Our Mission
🔧 Mission
CPUNK is evolving into a comprehensive post-quantum decentralized identity and messaging protocol. Our goal is to provide both community-focused experiences and robust, protocol-level infrastructure that applications and enterprises can build on.
The CPUNK Evolution
From early experiment to full identity & messaging protocol
🧬 Phase 1: Foundation (2025–2026)
- DNA Registration System: Decentralized Network Applications for unique, human-readable identities.
- Community Platform: Social features, messaging, voting, and governance on cpunk.club.
- Validator Delegation: Staking and rewards with a delegation model that supports network security.
- Multi-language Support: Global accessibility with 8+ supported languages.
- OAuth Integration: Sign-in via GitHub, Google, and other major platforms where needed.
🛰 Phase 2: Protocol Evolution (2026+)
- Enhanced DNA System: Digital identity anchored to CF20 wallet public keys, with DHT-backed profiles.
- Proof of Humanity: A multi-factor verification framework for authentic human users, without sacrificing privacy.
- Identity Revocation: User-controlled mechanisms for deactivating or rotating identities when needed.
- Trustless Backend: DHT-first architecture (Nodus network) with local caching instead of centralized databases.
- Post-Quantum Protocol: End-to-end integration of quantum-safe cryptography for identity, messaging, and key management.
Core Values
Principles that guide how we design and build the protocol
🛡 Security First
Built on NIST Category 5 post-quantum cryptography, CPUNK aims for long-term security against both classical and future quantum threats.
🌐 True Decentralization
Identities and communication should not depend on a single company or server. Ownership is cryptographic, not contractual.
👥 Community Driven
Governance happens through transparent proposals and community decisions. Users, validators, and builders all have a voice.
🔒 Privacy Focused
Your data belongs to you. CPUNK is designed to minimize data collection and expose only what’s needed for the protocol to function.
🚀 Innovation
We experiment with new cryptographic primitives, new UX patterns, and new coordination mechanisms – always with real-world use in mind.
🌍 Accessibility
A global protocol must be understandable and usable by people in many languages and skill levels – not just cryptography experts.
Technology Foundation
🧬 Post-Quantum Foundation
NIST Category 5 Security: CPUNK is built on post-quantum cryptography providing maximum quantum resistance (256-bit security level).
- Kyber1024 for key encapsulation (ML-KEM-1024)
- Dilithium5 for digital signatures (ML-DSA-87)
- AES-256-GCM for symmetric encryption
- SHA3-512 for cryptographic hashing
⬅️ CPUNK Infrastructure
Dual-Domain Architecture: CPUNK runs two main public surfaces that serve different roles but share the same protocol core.
- cpunk.club: Community, governance, dashboards, tools
- cpunk.io: Identity protocol, APIs, and service layer
- Post-quantum DHT backend (Nodus network) for protocol data
- REST-style APIs for developers integrating DNA and messaging
