AnChat – 基于去中心化基础设施的端到端消息应用,无需手机号码。
AnChat Lite 是一款端到端加密的消息应用,运行在去中心化的基础设施上,而不是依赖于中央服务器(orama.network)。其认证方式基于钱包——无需手机号码、电子邮件或身份要求。
我们开发它的原因是,所有“私密”消息应用仍然依赖于由单一实体控制的中心化基础设施。Signal 需要手机号码,并通过 Signal 的服务器进行路由。Matrix 虽然是联邦式的,但仍然依赖于服务器。我们希望有一种方式,使得没有单一实体控制消息基础设施。
它的工作原理:
- 消息通过 Orama 网络路由——这是一个由独立节点组成的分布式网络,而不是单一的中央服务器
- 所有消息内容均采用端到端加密
- 通过 ANyONe 协议(洋葱路由)进行元数据保护——不仅消息内容被隐藏,谁与谁交谈也被隐藏
- 基础设施层是定制构建的:Go 后端、基于 Raft 的分布式 SQL(RQLite)、独立节点之间的 WireGuard 网状网络、自主运营的 DNS
- 不使用 AWS,也不依赖 GCP——在独立的 VPS 节点上运行,无需云服务提供商的支持
- 基于钱包的认证意味着在注册时不会收集任何身份数据
目前在 iOS(TestFlight)和 Android(Google Play + APK)上处于封闭测试阶段。
已知的限制:测试版质量、用户基础较小、基于钱包的注册对非加密货币用户存在一定摩擦。我们正在努力解决这些问题。
我们希望获得的反馈:
- 去中心化消息架构及其与联邦式(Matrix)或中心化(Signal)的权衡
- 主流用户的基于钱包的注册体验
- 还有哪些缺失的功能会让你考虑使用它

AnChat Lite is an E2E encrypted messenger that runs on decentralized infrastructure
instead of central servers (orama.network). Authentication is wallet-based — no phone number, no email, no identity requirements.<p>We built it because every "private" messenger still depends on centralized
infrastructure controlled by a single entity. Signal requires a phone number
and routes through Signal's servers. Matrix is federated but still
server-dependent. We wanted something where no single entity controls the
messaging infrastructure.<p>How it works:<p>- Messages route through the Orama Network — a distributed network of
independent nodes, not a single central server
- E2E encryption on all message content
- Metadata shielding via the ANyONe Protocol (onion routing) — not just
message content, but who talks to whom is hidden
- The infrastructure layer is custom-built: Go backend, Raft-based distributed
SQL (RQLite), WireGuard mesh between independent nodes, self-operated DNS
- No AWS, no GCP — runs on independent VPS nodes with no cloud provider
dependency
- Wallet-based auth means zero identity data collected at signup<p>Currently in closed beta on iOS (TestFlight) and Android (Google Play + APK).<p>Known limitations: beta quality, small user base, wallet-based onboarding has
friction for non-crypto-native users. Working on all of it.<p>What we'd love feedback on:
- The decentralized messaging architecture and its tradeoffs vs. federated
(Matrix) or centralized (Signal)
- UX of wallet-based onboarding for mainstream users
- What's missing that would make you consider it<p>Website: https://anchat.io/#download
