White Noise, a new privacy-centric messaging app, has launched its alpha v0.1.0 to introduce an anonymization protocol to the Nostr social media ecosystem, offering end-to-end encrypted group chats and direct messages.
Nostr is a decentralized protocol aiming at censorship-resistant communication, operating on an open network of independent relays without depending on a single company like Twitter or WhatsApp.
Users authenticate on Nostr using private and public keys that can also be used in Bitcoin transactions, providing greater control over identity without revealing personal information.
White Noise brings solutions to Nostr's privacy challenges by incorporating MLS encryption standard, promising to obfuscate message senders, similar to the encryption used by Signal.
