Network Architecture

How the Backspace.me relay network operates

🔐

E2E Encryption

Every message encrypted with AES-256-GCM before leaving your device. Ed25519 signatures verify authenticity. Relay nodes never see plaintext.

🌐

Distributed Mesh

Relay nodes sync via WebSocket mesh using msgpackr binary protocol. No single point of failure. The network grows as more nodes join.

Dual-Node Failover

Clients connect to two nodes simultaneously. If primary drops, standby promotes instantly with zero downtime.

🔑

Proof-of-Uptime

Mint unique usernames by contributing uptime to the network. Canary-verified, cryptographically signed, no wasted energy.

💬

Message Relay

Messages are relayed through the network with 7-day TTL. Gzip compressed, auto-purged. No permanent storage.

🛡️

Zero Collection

No analytics. No telemetry. No tracking. Relay nodes know your IP and public key, nothing else.

Strengthen the Network

Run your own relay node to expand the mesh. More nodes means better resilience, lower latency, and wider geographic coverage.
