Why DChat

Privacy isn't a setting. It's the architecture.

Every piece of DChat — from the way it finds your friends to the way it stores your messages — is designed so that we can't read them, and neither can anyone else.

End-to-end encrypted, always

Every message, call, and file is sealed with keys only you and your recipient hold. We never see plaintext — and neither do the relays that carry it.

Decentralized relays

No central server to subpoena, shut down, or breach. Messages hop peer-to-peer through a distributed network that no single company controls.

No phone, no email

Sign up with a key — not an identity. Your handle is a handle, nothing more.

Disappearing by default

Set a TTL on any thread. Messages self-destruct on every device — not just yours.

Open protocol

Audit the spec. Run your own relay. Fork the client. Trust is earned, not assumed.

Product tour

A real messenger — not a crypto experiment.

DChat looks and feels like the messaging apps you already use. It just doesn't leak like them.

How it stacks up

The only messenger that treats metadata as data.

Other apps encrypt your messages. DChat encrypts who you talked to, when, and from where — too.
