ChatNode is a fully decentralized messaging platform built on libp2p. No central servers, no data harvesting — just direct, encrypted peer-to-peer connections. Messaging, video calls, and more.
Send encrypted messages directly to any peer on the network. No servers store your conversations — messages travel directly between nodes with relay fallback for offline delivery.
Make encrypted audio and video calls directly peer-to-peer using WebRTC. No central media servers — your calls are private, low-latency, and fully decentralized.
Built-in ERC-20 token wallet for the CHAT token. Send, receive, and manage your tokens directly from the app with QR code support and full transaction history.
Your messages never touch a corporate server. Everything runs peer-to-peer using libp2p, with bootnode relays only when direct connections fail.
Register a unique .chat domain backed by blockchain. Your identity is cryptographically yours — no email, no phone number, no sign-ups.
ChatNode is completely open source. Inspect the code, contribute features, or run your own bootnode. Transparency is at the core of everything we build.
