Whisper: The Web3 Messaging Layer

Whisper removes the need for usernames, passwords, phone numbers, or centralized databases. Your Web3 wallet is your identity. Communication happens wallet to wallet using the XMTP protocol, with full end to end encryption.

Messages are transmitted off chain. No accounts are created. No profiles exist. There are no usernames, no public identifiers, and no metadata leakage.

Whisper is a private coordination layer for Web3. Chat is not a social feature; it is the execution layer.

Two parties can communicate privately, send value directly inside the conversation, and authorize actions with wallet signatures. Transfers are context native. There is no need to copy and paste addresses or switch tools.

Each conversation operates through fresh stealth addresses, ensuring your primary wallet is never exposed. Payments made inside chat cannot be linked back to your on-chain history. Transactions are routed through relayers with randomized settlement and decoy activity, making it impractical to determine who paid whom from on-chain data alone.

There is no central server that can read, log, monitor, or intercept messages. Whisper follows a strict zero-trust model. Every message is encrypted. Every action requires explicit wallet approval. No backend is trusted with content, identity, or intent.

Whisper does not expose presence signals. There is no last seen, online status, or typing indicator. Read receipts can be proven cryptographically without revealing timing or availability.

There is no public social graph. No followers. Reputation is private and composable. Users can prove successful private interactions without revealing counterparties.

Whisper is built for real use cases, including funds, founders, DAOs, freelancers, and private coordination where discretion matters. Retail adoption comes later.

This is more than privacy. This is sovereign communication.
