Idea

🧐 The problem: scaling E2E

• E2E encryption only works for simple chat apps today
• The limiting factor is the cell phone
• You can’t implement a server layer on a cell phone, but sophisticated applications rely on a server layer that has access to plaintext
• Things that are hard without a server: backup, search, ranking, discovery
• Not buying it? More details

💡 The solution: keyservers

• Your keyserver owns your keys, your data, and your digital identity
• Comm will not host your keyserver for you, but our tools will help you deploy one
• We will initially support deploying keyservers in the cloud ☁️ or on a spare laptop 💻
• Eventually, we’ll support cloud-based TEEs and sell dedicated hardware

🔒 The keyserver is a privacy platform

• You can install apps on your keyserver that operate in a sandboxed environment
• Consumers get a guarantee that data in the sandbox can’t escape out of it
• Sandbox includes your devices+keyserver and your Comm friends’ devices+keyserver
• App developers never get access to your data

💬 GTM: Web3 Discord

• Comm is the first sovereign chat app that can support the Discord / Slack feature set
