Your group chat
is someone
else’s transcript.
Faction is end-to-end encrypted group chat for communities. Slack reads your chat. Discord stores it. Faction encrypts on your device and decrypts on theirs — we hold a blob, you hold the key.
Get it
your words. your rules.
We can’t read your messages. On purpose.
Encryption happens on your device, not ours. Decryption happens on theirs. The server in the middle handles a blob and a routing label. Subpoena us and you get noise.
