What Makes Eve Different?
Beyond Social Networks
Eve is more than just a messaging app – it's your community
We're not just another social network. Built on the decentralized power of Nostr and the secure infrastructure of the internet's native currency, Bitcoin, Eve delivers a complete digital sovereignty solution where privacy is the foundation – not just a feature.
Closed Community Networks?
Simple Invitations
Invite friends with a simple secure process
Share an invite code with friends. When they join, you'll both verify each other in real-time - like a digital secret handshake that keeps everyone safe.
Private By Design
Your conversations stay in your CCN
Unlike social media, only invited members can see what's shared. No outsiders, no spying, no data collection - just private chats between you and those you care about.
Your Digital Living Room
A cozy space just for your inner circle
Think of it like having your own digital living room where you control who gets invited in. No algorithms, no ads, no strangers - just your trusted community.
Bitcoin-Grade Security
Bitcoin-grade encryption keeps you safe
We use the same security that protects billions in Bitcoin. Your messages are locked with unbreakable encryption that even we can't read.
Community Protection
Everyone helps keep the space safe
All members work together to verify newcomers. Like a neighborhood watch, the whole community helps maintain security and trust.
No Central Control
You own and control your space
There's no company controlling your data or conversations. Your community exists on its own, free from outside interference or surveillance. If we disappear from the face of the internet tomorrow, your community can still thrive!
Works Everywhere
Available on your favorite devices
Use it on your (android) phone or (linux or macOS) computer. Messages sync securely across your devices while staying private.
Trust Network
Build circles of trusted friends
Create multiple communities for different groups - family, friends, colleagues. Each space is completely separate and secure.
Easy to Use
Powerful security made simple
Complex encryption happens behind the scenes. For you, it's as easy as using any app - just more private.
Always Protected
Security that never sleeps
Every message, photo, and file is automatically encrypted. Your privacy is protected 24/7 without you having to think about it.
Bitcoin?
What is Bitcoin?
A new kind of money that's truly yours
Bitcoin is a digital currency that exists only on computers and phones. It's like the money in your wallet, but instead of being made of coins and bills, it's made of computer code.
Secure and Decentralized
No single person or organization controls it
Bitcoin is maintained by a network of computers around the world, working together to keep track of all transactions. This makes it virtually unhackable and resistant to censorship.
Instant Payments
Send and receive money in seconds
With Bitcoin, you can send money to anyone, anywhere in the world, in just a few seconds. No more waiting for days or paying high fees.
Private Transactions
Your financial business stays private
Bitcoin transactions are recorded publicly, but the identities of the people involved are kept secret. This means you can make payments without revealing your personal info.
No Banks or Intermediaries
Cut out the middlemen and their fees
With Bitcoin, you don't need banks or other intermediaries to make transactions. This means lower fees and more control over your money.
True Financial Sovereignty
You own and control your money
Bitcoin gives you complete control over your finances. You can send, receive, and store your money without relying on anyone else.
No Shitcoins or Fiat
We don't support fake or government-controlled currencies
Eve only uses Bitcoin because it's the most secure and decentralized currency available. We don't support other cryptocurrencies (shitcoins) including government-controlled fiat currencies because they're often insecure, inflationary, or controlled by special interests.
No Bitcoin? No Problem
Buy Eve with traditional currency, no Bitcoin required
Don't have Bitcoin? We've got you covered. You can still purchase Eve using your local currency. To cover the costs of converting it to Bitcoin, we'll add a 20% convenience fee. This way, you can join the community without needing to own Bitcoin. Tho we believe you will eventually move to Bitcoin.
Bitcoin and CCNs
Your Money, Your Way
Maintain control with a personal Bitcoin wallet
Every Eve user has their own self-custodial Bitcoin wallet, giving you complete control over your funds and private keys. This is your primary storage for your digital assets.
Private Community Transactions
Fast and private transactions within your community
Our community-based Fedimint layer allows for small, frequent transactions that are fast, efficient, and private within your community. Trusted community guardians manage these transactions, ensuring your financial activity remains confidential.
External Transactions Made Easy
Interact with the outside world using Cashu
For transactions outside your community, Cashu enables small transactions with external parties. You can choose your preferred mint and enjoy features like Lightning Network integration and automatic balance monitoring.
The Privacy Stack
A multi-layered approach to financial privacy
Our financial architecture consists of three layers: a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet for sovereign control, a community-based Fedimint layer for trusted transactions, and a Cashu layer for flexible external payments. This ensures you maintain control over your funds while enabling efficient daily transactions.
Security Features
Protecting your financial sovereignty
Our system includes balance management features like user-defined thresholds, automated safety prompts, and split custody recommendations. Additionally, our network flexibility features seamless Lightning Network integration, multiple mint options, and community-based privacy features.

The reputation system
Your Reputation, Your Responsibility
Invite wisely, your rep is on the line
When you invite someone to join your CCN, you're putting your own reputation on the line. If they contribute value, your reputation spikes up. If they disrupt the peace, your reputation takes a hit.
Zap It
Show love for valuable content with sats
Pay a small amount of sats to authors of high-quality content. This not only rewards the creator but also increases their reputation.
Down-Zap It
Flag low-quality content, support the community
Encounter problematic or low-quality content? Downzap it to send the zap amount to the community pool and decrease the author's reputation.
Reputation Hikes
Level up with positive actions
Invite valuable contributors, create high-quality content, and engage positively with others to increase your reputation.
Reputation Declines
Don't get penalized, be cool
Invite problematic users, create low-quality content, or engage negatively with others to decrease your reputation. Don't be that guy.
Community Moderation
Work together, stay awesome
Collaborate with other community members to moderate content, address issues, and maintain a positive and respectful environment.
The technical details
State-of-the-Art Encryption
Protecting your data with the best cryptographic protocols
Eve employs ECIES with secp256k1 curve, the same curve used by Bitcoin, and Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) for all messages.
Post-Quantum Cryptography
Future-proofing Eve for a quantum-resistant world
Starting Q2 2025, we're implementing hybrid classical/post-quantum encryption, lattice-based cryptography, quantum-resistant key exchange protocols, and regular cryptographic agility updates.
Censorship-Resistant Communication
Using Nostr under the hood for secure communication
Eve utilizes Nostr, a decentralized communication protocol, to ensure censorship resistance and secure communication between CCN members. All data is encrypted end-to-end before it reaches any Nostr relay, protecting your information from prying eyes.
Bitcoin Integration
Leveraging Bitcoin's secure infrastructure
Eve utilizes Bitcoin's Lightning Network for instant payments, Schnorr signatures for enhanced privacy, and BIP-39 seed phrases for key management.
Multi-Layered Privacy
Protecting your metadata and communications
Our privacy architecture includes onion routing for metadata protection, plausible deniability in all communications, and local encrypted data storage.
