Relay – Offline Mesh Messenger

Relay lets messages hop from phone to phone — even when the internet doesn't work. No servers. No accounts. No phone number required. Just people helping messages travel. HOW IT WORKS Relay uses Bluetooth to connect nearby phones directly. When you send a message, it doesn't need the internet — it travels from device to device until it reaches the person you're writing to. Think of it like passing a note through a crowd, except it's encrypted and automatic. - Your phone discovers other Relay users nearby via Bluetooth Low Energy - Messages are stored locally and forwarded when devices cross paths - Each hop brings your message closer to its destination - The network is the people around you WHEN YOU NEED IT Relay is built for the moments when regular messaging fails: - Natural disasters and emergencies when cell towers go down - Remote areas with no signal — hiking, camping, rural zones - Crowded events where networks are overloaded - Travel in areas with limited or expensive connectivity - Any situation where you want communication that doesn't depend on infrastructure PRIVACY BY DESIGN Relay doesn't ask for your phone number, email, or any personal information. Your identity is a cryptographic key generated on your device — not an account on someone's server. - End-to-end encrypted communication using the Noise Protocol (XX pattern) - No central servers store or route your messages - No tracking, no ads, no data collection - Your messages live on your device, nowhere else - Add contacts by scanning QR codes in person — trust is built face to face EARN BY HELPING When your phone helps forward someone else's message, you earn RELAY tokens. The more you help the network, the more you earn. - Earn tokens by relaying messages for others - Bonus rewards when messages you forwarded reach their destination - Use tokens for optional features like message priority or profile customization - The economy rewards real contribution, not speculation HOW TO GET STARTED 1. Install Relay — no sign-up needed 2. Share your QR code with friends or family 3. Keep Bluetooth on and Relay does the rest 4. Messages travel automatically when devices are nearby WHAT RELAY IS NOT Relay is not a replacement for WhatsApp or Telegram when you have good internet. It's not instant messaging — it's resilient messaging. Messages may take minutes, hours, or even days to arrive depending on how many people around you use Relay. Relay is honest about this. You'll always see where your message is in its journey: queued, forwarding, delivered. We call it eventual messaging — because your message will get there, carried by people. OPEN AND TRANSPARENT Relay is built on proven cryptographic standards (Curve25519, ChaCha20-Poly1305, SHA-256) and designed with a clear protocol stack documented in our public whitepaper. Relay is infrastructure for human communication. It works with two phones or two thousand. The more people use it, the stronger the network becomes. Download Relay. Be part of the mesh.
