Xinc: Decentralized Chat Platform

Open-source chat platform prioritizing user privacy and security with end-to-end encrypted messaging, voice, and video calls

What is Xinc?

Xinc is an open-source, decentralized chat and communications platform focused on privacy and security. It was first released in 2014 as an alternative to traditional centralized messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram.

Some key features of Xinc include:

• End-to-end encryption - All communications between Xinc users are encrypted locally on their devices before being sent across the network. This prevents third parties from accessing message contents.
• Decentralized network - Xinc does not rely on centralized servers owned by a single company or organization. Instead, it uses a decentralized network of homeservers operated by many different individuals and groups.
• Open federation - Users on different homeservers can seamlessly communicate with each other, enabling a global open network for chat and communication.
• Multi-device syncing - Xinc uses device verification and end-to-end encryption to securely sync a user's conversations across all their logged in devices.
• Bridges to third party networks - Xinc allows interoperability with external networks through bridge servers, enabling users to communicate outside the core Xinc network.

Overall, Xinc aims to give users a private, secure and independent long-term chat and communications solution. Its decentralized open network is resilient to shutdowns or censorship attempts. The project is developed by New Vector Ltd. as well as an open community of volunteer contributors.
