Platho is a messenger with end-to-end and post-quantum encryption. We have no infrastructure servers. The project runs on smart contracts on the TON network.
The project is already launched and working.
https://platho.appWhy another messenger?In recent years, governments in different countries have increasingly been explaining to people why the privacy of their personal correspondence apparently shouldn't be too private.
The arguments are always the same: terrorism, children, crime, national security, and so on. Anything that can convince people to give up one more part of their private lives.
Different countries, different laws. Same arguments.
If there is a key that allows a government, corporation, or anyone else to read your messages without your consent, then those messages do not belong to you.
Private correspondence should be private.
What is Platho?There is no traditional registration.
No phone number.
No email.
No account password that can be recovered through customer support.
Your wallet is the basis of your identity.
Your keys stay on your device.
A private message is encrypted before it is sent.
What goes into the network is already an encrypted payload.
We cannot read your messages.
And just as importantly, we don't particularly want to receive a letter from some government agency asking us to hand over your correspondence. It's much more convenient not to have anything that can be handed over in the first place.
Today your government wants access to fight terrorists. Tomorrow another government will use the same mechanism against journalists, political opposition, activists, or simply people it doesn't like.
Cryptography shouldn't have to understand politics.
It either works or it doesn't.
Why blockchain?You can build yet another centralized encrypted messenger. There are already plenty of them.
But then you still have an operator and infrastructure. You still have a point that can be bought, shut down, forced to comply, or simply switched off.
Information written to the blockchain cannot be deleted. Everything written there stays there permanently, and nobody can change it.
Public and privateTON is a public blockchain.
Platho does not turn it into an anonymous network.
Transactions are visible. Blockchain metadata exists.
So we're not going to write something like “100% anonymous military-grade invisible darknet messenger.”
That would be a lie.
Private messages are private. Their contents are encrypted by the client.
The right not to invite strangers into your conversation does not need justification.
Public posts, on the other hand, are intentionally public.
If you publish something publicly, assume that you wrote it in plain text once and forever.
Governments won't be able to delete it.
The messenger administration won't be able to delete it.
And neither will you.
Platho economicsPlatho doesn't have a company that pays every month for servers, databases, and all the rest of the infrastructure.
All messages in Platho are paid.
When sending a message or making a public post, the user pays for the work they create for the network: contract execution, transactions, and data storage.
A new user does not arrive on infrastructure that someone else has already paid for.
Their actions bring the TON required for execution and for the continued existence of the state they create.
This is intentional at the protocol level: a new state entry should be paid for by the operation that creates it.
We don't need investors paying for servers for years in the hope of eventually “monetizing the audience.”
We don't need advertising.
We don't need to sell user data to pay for infrastructure.
In a normal free messenger, someone is paying for your message too. It's just usually not you.
Sometimes it's an advertiser. Sometimes it's an investor. Sometimes it's a company expecting to make money from you later.
Here it's more straightforward:
You wrote a message - you paid for it yourself.
Because of this, Platho can continue working regardless of whether a Platho company exists tomorrow, whether it has money, an office, employees, or anyone at all who feels like working on it.
The contracts don't care.
As long as TON exists and there are people willing to pay for their own actions on the network, Platho can live.
