The messaging
platform you own
True decentralized peer-to-peer communication architecture.
No servers. No middlemen. No compromise on privacy.
Why PiperChat over Signal, WhatsApp, or Telegram?
While other platforms claim privacy, they still control your data, your connections, and your access. PiperChat eliminates the middleman entirely.
Centralized Platforms
- ✗ Central servers required
- ✗ Can be shut down or censored
- ✗ Metadata collection
- ✗ Phone number required
- ✗ Trust in corporation necessary
- ✗ Subject to government requests
PiperChat
- ✓ Pure peer-to-peer network
- ✓ Censorship impossible
- ✓ Zero metadata leakage
- ✓ Cryptographic identity only
- ✓ Trustless by design
- ✓ Your keys, your identity
"Signal is great, but it still requires their servers. PiperChat needs nothing but you and your peers."

Achieving true privacy required a fundamentally new messaging architecture
An architecture built on necessity – the imperative remains unchanged: people have a fundamental right to private conversation without intermediaries, surveillance, or corporate control.
Until now, "secure" messaging apps remained dependent on centralized servers. Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram – all require trusting a corporation with your metadata, uptime, and ultimately your access.
Despite encryption, these platforms control who can communicate, when servers are online, and what metadata gets collected. Every message passes through their infrastructure.
With PiperChat, there is no infrastructure to trust, control, or compromise.
- Direct peer-to-peer connections with zero intermediaries
- Cryptographic identity instead of phone numbers or accounts
- No metadata collection – not even connection timing
- Impossible to censor, shut down, or compel to cooperate
That's why we built PiperChat.
A protocol-first system, built for true decentralization, that you control completely.
PURE PEER-TO-PEER
Our architecture delivers everything needed for private communication – from cryptographic key generation to message routing – without a single centralized component. Every peer is equal. Every connection is direct.
That's the only way to build truly private messaging.
- No phone numbers, email addresses, or personal identifiers required
- Messages travel directly between peers – never touching a server
- Cryptographic identities that you generate and control locally
- Network remains operational even if 90% of peers go offline
