Scrapwire

Private, secure, peer-to-peer messaging through cypherspace. Scrapwire is built on Veilid, so conversations are encrypted end-to-end and travel as Veilid-backed records instead of packets sent to an IP address, with no servers, no accounts, and no IP addresses.


Five pillars

Private

Message contents, attachments, and control payloads are readable only by the intended participants. Non-participants never get plaintext access.

Secure

End-to-end encryption protects every message, and all local state (transcripts, publications, key material) is encrypted at rest on disk.

Peer-to-peer

Communication happens directly between participants' nodes. Each user runs their own Veilid node rather than talking to a shared service.

Serverless

There is no central server and no account infrastructure. No operator stores, brokers, or relays your messages on your behalf.

Anonymous

No IP addresses, hostnames, ports, or direct network identifiers are ever exposed or referenced. A peer's identity and location stay private unless they deliberately share them.

Built on Veilid, messaging through cypherspace

All transport and storage run on the Veilid network, using its distributed hash table and routing. In practice, messages and feeds are stored and routed as Veilid-backed records and routes rather than sent to an IP address, so the network layer never learns who is talking to whom by address. This is what it means to message through cypherspace.

Direct IP networking is not simply avoided by convention. It is banned at build time through dependency bans, lint guards, and an automated network tripwire test, so the privacy, security, and anonymity guarantees hold in practice.
