Cwtch

What is Cwtch?

Cwtch is a decentralized, privacy-preserving, multi-party messaging protocol that enables the creation of metadata resistant applications. It operates without a centralized service or network, allowing participants to host their own safe spaces or contribute infrastructure for others seeking secure communication. All communication in Cwtch is end-to-end encrypted and facilitated through Tor v3 onion services, ensuring that no information is exchanged or available without explicit user consent, even at the protocol metadata level
