Built for 2026.**\n\nNullWire combines a Loopix-based mixnet, hybrid post-quantum encryption, and zero-knowledge identity into a single protocol — designed to make traffic analysis infeasible for the first time in a consumer product.\n\n\u003e *\"Encrypting the content of a message is solved. Hiding the fact that you sent one is not. NullWire solves both.\"*\n\n---\n\n## Why NullWire Exists\n\nEvery existing privacy tool has a fatal flaw:\n\n| Tool | The Problem |\n|------|------------|\n| **TOR** | Timing correlation attacks. Nation-states can deanonymize users in minutes. |\n| **Signal** | Requires a phone number. Centralized servers. Metadata is visible. |\n| **Session** | Onion routing — same fundamental weakness as TOR. |\n| **Nym** | Sound mixnet architecture. NymVPN shipped 2025 — first real consumer mixnet. Token-dependent infrastructure, no PQ encryption, no formalized control-plane integrity. |\n\nNullWire combines mixnet architecture with post-quantum encryption, multi-RPC quorum validation, and a consumer messaging strategy — properties currently split across different systems.\n\n---\n\n## How It Works\n\n- **Mixnet routing** — Messages are batched, delayed, shuffled, and padded to identical size. Timing correlation becomes infeasible under the protocol's threat model.\n- **Solana control plane** — Node registry, staking, and governance live on-chain. No central server. No single point of failure. Significantly higher censorship resistance than DNS-dependent infrastructure.\n- **Zero-knowledge identity** — Stake SOL, generate a ZK proof of legitimacy, connect. The network never learns who you are.\n- **X3DH + Double Ratchet E2E** — Forward-secret end-to-end encryption from the first message with ML-KEM-1024 hybrid key exchange (FIPS 203), HKDF-SHA3-256 (FIPS 202), key zeroization, session management. Pre-alpha with significant hardening, not yet externally audited.\n- **Post-quantum encryption** — ML-KEM-1024 + X25519 hybrid key agreement (FIPS 203) + ChaCha20-Poly1305. Shipped and tested. Designed to resist harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks.\n- **Tunable anonymity** — PRIVATE (nation-state resistant, requires sufficient network scale) / BALANCED (strong privacy) / FAST (everyday use).\n\n---\n\n## Documents\n\n**[`NULLWIRE_WHITEPAPER_V4.pdf`](./NULLWIRE_WHITEPAPER_V4.pdf)** — v0.4, April 2026\n24-page technical specification.
