Features Cwtch

Cwtch (/kʊtʃ/ - a Welsh word roughly translating to “a hug that creates a safe place”) is a decentralized, privacy-preserving, multi-party messaging protocol that can be used to build metadata resistant applications.- Decentralized and Open: There is no “Cwtch service” or “Cwtch network”.
Participants in Cwtchcan host their own safe spaces, or lend their infrastructure to others seeking a safe space.The Cwtch protocol is open, and anyone is free to build bots, services and user interfaces andintegrate and interact with Cwtch.- Privacy Preserving: All communication in Cwtch is end-to-end encrypted and takes place over Tor v3onion services.
- Metadata Resistant: Cwtch has been designed such that no information is exchanged or available toanyone without their explicit consent, including on-the-wire messages and protocol metadata.For more information on how Cwtch works and a guide to metadata resistant communication pleasecheckout the Cwtch Handbook: https://docs.cwtch.im/
