Technology

Loki combines a private transaction network based on Monero with economically incentivised service nodes to create a trustless quorum based networking protocol. This protocol allows anyone to route small packets of data in an anonymous and decentralised way. The front end applications that use this packet routing system are private-by-design, and are known as Service Node Apps “SNApps”; the first of which is the Loki Messenger - a decentralised, anonymous and private messaging service.

Value Proposition

A private-by-default protocol that builds on proven cryptographic schemes and allows the creation of decentralised, resilient and oppression-free apps for real-word use.

Loki Messenger

Using the Signal protocol, this private messaging service will be implementing cutting edge encryption schemes including Off The Record messaging and Axolotl Ratchets. This will enable Loki Messenger to be the only fully decentralised service with perfect forward-secrecy and deniable authentication.
