The messenger protocol you actually own

They can’t delete you.

Your identity, your conversations, your history.

The Zooid Chats list: direct messages, groups, a voice note, an agent and a payment, with unread counts.

A Zooid conversation with a photo, emoji reactions, a voice note and a payment sent in the thread.

The Zooid Discover feed: public posts with photos, likes and comments.

Built to outlast them all.

Four foundations. Every one of them yours.

Censorship resistant

An identity that is yours for good.

No number, no email, no sign-up. You make it in a second and nobody can take it back.

Elsewhere: one breach exposed about 1,900 people’s numbers and login codes, and a stranger took over an account.

An even spread of translucent green cells joined by filaments, with none at the centre.

Scalable privacy

Privacy that grows with your group.

One sealed message for the whole group. A room of thousands stays as private, and as fast, as a chat with one friend.

Elsewhere: a separate sealed copy goes to every member, so it buckles past about ten people — or quietly stops encrypting.

A green form branching into two, then four, then eight, one brighter path running through.

Portable data you truly own

Take everything with you, anywhere.

Lift your whole history — every message, every group — and set it down somewhere new.

Elsewhere: your name lives on their machine, and most apps have no way to move an account at all.

One green cell dissolving into particles that reassemble whole alongside it.

Verifiable history

Nobody can rewrite what was said.

Every message is signed as it’s sent and locked into a record that only ever grows. Your phone checks that record itself — so if anything were altered, removed or slipped in, you would know. Verifiable like a blockchain, without a blockchain.

Elsewhere: you are simply told what was said, and there is no way to check.

Sending 240 USDT inside a Zooid conversation, with the receipt appearing in the thread.

And it’s a joy to use.

Groups of any size

Invite everyone. It stays fast and stays private.

Every device

Add one and it’s already up to date.

Moments

A public feed for the things you want seen.

Money in the chat

Send crypto mid-conversation. The receipt lands right in the thread.

Video calls

One tap from any chat.

Agent apps

Install an assistant and message it like anyone else.

Start in seconds

No number, no email, no waiting. Just in.

Side by side

What the others can’t do.

Every one of them is good at something. None of them is good at this.

For people running messengers

Your users survive the block.

Getting blocked doesn’t have to cost you your community.

They keep their accounts.

On a normal messenger an account is a row in your database. Lose the server and every user is deleted with it.

A Zooid identity is a key on the user’s own device. It survives you.

They keep their groups.

Rebuilding a community means every member finding every other member again. Most never do.

Groups and history move to a new host intact. Nobody re-adds anybody.

There’s nothing to switch off.

One company, one server, one place to apply pressure — and one thing that has to stay up.

Anyone can run a node, anywhere. No single machine carries your product.

For developers

Build your own.
Still reach everyone.

Your app, your servers, your brand — on one shared network. Like email: different providers, everybody still writes to everybody.

Your app, your brand

Your name, your design, your users. Zooid never has to appear.

Host it anywhere

Your own machines, your own country, or none of the above.

Everyone is still reachable

Messages cross between apps. You join a network instead of starting one.
