Running on the closed testnet

Morana Messenger

An end-to-end encrypted messenger. Messages are carried by relays — small servers run by different operators, paid by the network from every block. On the closed testnet all relays sit on servers operated by the project.

What it does today

Private by default

Messenger features on the closed testnet.

Encrypted on your device

Messages are encrypted on your device using the Olm protocol. A relay cannot read their contents. A relay sees the encrypted envelope, the mailbox identifier and the envelope size, rounded up to one of a set of fixed sizes. All relays on the closed testnet are operated by the project. Some metadata is still visible to their operators. Further protection of this data is planned for the open testnet.

Two profiles

The Morana profile brings together money, a name and messaging. The second profile, Shadow, is for messaging only: it has its own key and, by default, its own recovery phrase, with no wallet or name. Shadow is designed to connect only through bridges or Tor. This protection is not yet fully implemented on the closed testnet: a relay operator may see the device’s IP address.

Design and privacy

The same Morana Aurora design and privacy model as the wallet. The interface is available in 16 languages.
