Privacy,
privately.
The messenger with no phone number. Every message is locked on your iPhone and opens only on theirs.
How it works
From your phone to theirs.
Unreadable in between.
You write a message. Just like always.
It's locked before it leaves your iPhone. With keys only the two of you hold.
Then it travels across a peer-to-peer network. Hop by hop, node to node.
Every node passes it on. Not one can read it.
Only one phone can open it.
Theirs.
Identity
No phone number.
Ever.
You're your @handle. Behind it is a wallet that's yours, not ours, and every key your phone publishes is signed by it. If a key ever changes, the chat tells you. Compare safety numbers and you know it's really them.

Our servers
Your messages
never touch
our servers.
We keep no copy to sell, hand over or leak. Only your phone and theirs can read what you say.
Photos and files wait on Popy's storage only as locked data under random names, and are deleted after 45 days. The key to open them travels inside your message. If you report someone, the messages you choose to include are sent to our moderators. Money you send is USDC on the Polygon blockchain, where every transfer's amount and wallets are public.
Encryption
A new key
for every message.
Popy is built on the design of the Signal Protocol. With every message the ratchet turns and the key changes, so one stolen key can't open the messages that came before it.
Network
Peer-to-peer.
Popy sends your messages over Waku, an open peer-to-peer network run by independent operators around the world. No Popy server carries them, and there's no central switchboard to tap.
