bleep

Bleep is a decentralized chat application launched by BitTorrent Group, focusing on privacy protection and data security. Its core design concept is "no server, no monitoring" and directly connects user devices through P2P (point-to-point) architecture to prevent chat records and metadata (such as communication objects and time) from being obtained by third parties.

Software features

Decentralized architecture

Serverless storage: Chat information is transmitted directly through the Distributed Hash Table (DHT) without going through any central server. The BitTorrent Group cannot obtain the content, time or object of the user's chat.

Anti-surveillance: Using P2P network to avoid the risk of single point of failure or data leakage, it is suitable for users with extremely high privacy requirements.

End-to-end encryption technology

Multiple encryption algorithms: Use curve25519, ed25519, salsa20, poly1305 and other algorithms to encrypt data transmission to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.

Blockchain storage: The 2025 version will store chat records on the blockchain to ensure that developers cannot tamper with or access user data.

Anonymous registration and privacy protection

No personal information required: users only need to set a nickname and do not need to provide an email or mobile phone number (optional binding to facilitate friend search).

Public key/private key system: Each user is assigned a pair of keys generated by a mathematical algorithm. The public key is used for identity identification, and the private key encrypts information to ensure communication security.

The function of burning after reading (Whisper)

Automatically disappear in 25 seconds: The sent private information will be automatically destroyed after being displayed for 25 seconds, and cannot be saved through screenshots, which is suitable for the transmission of sensitive content.
