ADAMANT and its security level come in all shapes and sizesADAMANT is one of a kind and not your typical messenger. It provides its users with complete anonymity and privacy and protects chats and coin transfers from interception – all this is no idle boast. The development team regularly studies the flaws of popular messengers and strives to exclude them from ADAMANT.
This very article is a summary of hard work and its results, so be all eyes and ears!
Anonymity The messenger requires neither phone numbers nor first or last names. It does not even register a user under a specific nickname. As soon as an account is created, users will get a unique passphrase and an account’s ID number. This data is more than enough to start chatting and make transactions. Indeed, such a registration process is more convenient than the regular ones – it is quick, as it does not require any verifications or specific information about users.
What’s more, ADAMANT will never reveal a user’s IP address because all messages are a part of the blockchain system. This works the same for Tor Browser, for instance.
Correspondence securityOnly a sender and a recipient can see the chats’ content and this is a 100% guaranty, which ADAMANT is happy to provide. To that end, several features make this possible.
Blockchain is on guardIn fact, all the messages sent and received via ADAMANT are recognized as transactions, which are made and stored in the messenger’s decentralized registry. The blockchain system protects the content, too. Indeed, this kind of storage is safer than any other, as it is impossible to break into the blockchain’s repository and retrieve information from a decentralized server.
No one can edit or delete messages and their content. Indeed, data stored in the blockchain system is unchangeable, so no third parties can ascribe anything to users.
E2EE Now, blockchain enthusiasts may object saying that all the blockchain data is «transparent» so that everyone can get access to it. However, ADAMANT uses E2EE (End-to-End encryption) that is based on two keys: public and private. To keep it short, encryption requires a sender’s private key and a recipient’s public key. Consequently, a message is encrypted on a sender’s device and then is decrypted on a recipient’s device. Besides, a private key is never transferred into the network.

Privacy as a native featureADAMANT accounts cannot be influenced by anyone externally. Indeed, even developers cannot ban or block the messenger’s users and delete their messages. There are neither administrators nor moderators so that each person in the messenger’s system is equal to another.
Corporations and governments do not sponsor ADAMANT. As a matter of fact, node holders support its system and receive the project’s tokens in exchange for their aid. Therefore, the app does not need to sell out its users' data to survive.
New functions — more safetyBack in February, the development team
updated ADAMANT Blockchain Explorer that is a web service for researching the blockchain system. The latest update allows hiding both transactions and their fees. To that end, no third parties can determine who and when is in correspondence and the messages’ content is safe, too. However, these transactions and their metadata can still be compromised with the aid of API.
Mixer is another innovation made by the ADAMANT team. This technology covers up all the tracks and traces of any transaction, which makes it impossible to detect the chatters. Mixer distributes transactions between several wallets and sends tokens at different times, piece by piece. Senders can use public Mixer or set one on their own.
The
source code of ADAMANT is fully public and this is a great opportunity to make sure that all of the aforesaid is completely true. Furthermore, it helps the ADAMANT team to work better as any enthusiast or developer can make their suggestions on the messenger’s performance and try finding possible flaws.
