Secure messaging platform Satellite IM today launched a first-of-its-kind, fully decentralized communications platform.
Satellite IM designed the platform to protect users’ right to communicate without the surveillance or regulation of big tech companies. Unlike WhatsApp, Discord and Telegram, Satellite IM prioritizes encryption and privacy features to pave the way for the next generation of peer-to-peer communication.
The decentralized communications platform ensures that chatting is completely encrypted, offline, and serverless. Amidst the many infringements on personal data that exist today, Satellite IM aims to create safer and more secure peer-to-peer communication in the Web3 era.
Matt Wisniewski, Satellite IM CEO, pointed out that people are tired of the infringements on personal data that exist today.
“Amidst the ongoing data abuses by big tech companies, and with the lack of a strong federal data privacy law, Satellite IM is taking the important step of returning data privacy to the people,” Matt said.
“The launch of our platform marks the beginning of a safer and more secure mode of communication between peers in the Web3 era, states Matt. “We’re hopeful that we can help restore the kind of communication that puts privacy, security, and ownership at the forefront.”
Users of the Satellite IM’s platform can sign, encrypt, broadcast, search and store documents or messages with secure identity verification, without worrying about ever losing that data.
The launch comes shortly after the announcement of Satellite IM’s successful $10.5 million seed funding round.
Last month, Satellite IM announced it has closed a $10.5 million seed round co-led by Framework Ventures and Multicoin along with participation from Solana Ventures, IDEO CoLab, Hashed and Pioneer Square Labs Ventures.
