Kasia: Secure, Decentralized, and Fast Messaging

Kasia is an encrypted, decentralized, and fast peer-to-peer (P2P) messaging protocol and application. Built on top of Kaspa, Kasia ensures secure, private, and efficient communication without the need for a central server.

Features

• Encryption: All messages are encrypted to ensure privacy and security.
• Decentralization: No central server controls the network, making it resistant to censorship and outages.
• Speed: Fast message delivery thanks to the underlying Kaspa technology.
• Open Source: The project is open-source, allowing anyone to review, modify, and contribute to the codebase.
