Mizu

上善若水

Mizu is an experiment to explore what secure, private, and asynchronous messaging might look like when backed by a decentralized store (Tezos). Mizu is similar to email combined with PGP, while being forward secret and tries to reduce information leakage, similar to Pond.

DISCLAIMER: The design and implementation of Mizu is done by non-cryptographers who have not had substantial experience designing or implementing security-critical communication protocols. Please do not use this for anything real yet.

Watch a brief video of what Mizu currently looks like: Mizu Demonstration
