Blockchain for Private Messaging

Privacy concerns are escalating as everyday technology collects more personal data. Before installing applications, users should scrutinize the permissions they grant. Blockchain technology offers a path toward restoring digital fairness and individual independence.

ADAMANT Messenger is a blockchain-based application that uses cryptography to provide an anonymous messaging service. The system is designed so that no location data, user identification, or address book information is accessible. Users retain exclusive control of their private keys and mnemonic phrases, and accounts cannot be closed, blocked, or limited by anyone, including the developers.

Messages are only visible to the intended recipient, protected by an encrypted mnemonic phrase. Even the developers cannot view message contents. The ADAMANT Messenger and blockchain code is open-source, allowing for ongoing development and review.

Security features include certified authenticity for both sender and recipient, and MITM-attack protection. If a man-in-the-middle attack occurs, the sender identifier will change, making the interception detectable. The system uses the following encryption schemes: Ed25519 EdDSA, Curve25519, Salsa20, and Poly1305.
