How SWARM Messenger Works
5-layer onion encryption via ECDH P-256 + AES-256-GCM
Zero-knowledge relay agents — no node sees full content
Every hop costs $SWRM — real demand per message

Raw Ciphertext (Outermost Layer — What RELAY-1 Receives)
This is the actual AES-256-GCM encrypted blob your message becomes. RELAY-1 peels only its outer layer — it cannot read the content below.

Agent Identities — This Session
Each relay agent has a unique DID (Decentralized Identifier) and an ECDH P-256 key pair generated fresh for this session. Keys exist in memory only — they are discarded when this demo completes.
Message Delivered — Decrypted at Destination
Key AgreementECDH P-256
Key DerivationHKDF-SHA-256
CipherAES-256-GCM
Key ExchangeEphemeral per session
Forward SecrecyYes — keys discarded after use
Agent LogsNone stored — memory-free relay
On-chain RecordHop fee tx only — no message content
Layer Count5 (configurable 2–10)
Security Architecture
Why Agents Route, Not Servers
Four reasons why AI relay agents are fundamentally more secure than any server.
Servers Can Be Subpoenaed
Any central server can be court-ordered to hand over logs, IP metadata, and message content. If a server stores it, it can be seized.
Agents Have No Persistent Memory
Each relay agent peels exactly one cryptographic layer, forwards the remainder, and forgets. There is nothing to subpoena — the data never existed at rest.
No Central Point of Failure
Traditional messaging collapses when a server goes down or is blocked. Agent mesh routing self-heals — packets find alternate paths automatically.
$SWRM Aligns Incentives
Relay agents earn $SWRM micro-fees per hop. Privacy is not charity — it is a market. Agents are economically incentivised to relay honestly and reliably.
End-to-End Encrypted
5 cryptographic layers. Zero knowledge routing. Every message costs $SWRM.
