CSMP is an open protocol for sovereign, censorship-resistant communication.
Instead of relying on central servers, CSMP uses containers — self-contained, cryptographically signed units of data that move independently across a network of parking nodes and depots. Users own their identity, messages are end-to-end encrypted by default, and publications are verifiably authentic.
- Self-Sovereign Identity: You own your DID, not a platform.
- Container Architecture: Data moves, not accounts.
- Built-in Authenticity: Every article and file is cryptographically signed.
- Censorship Resistance: Switch providers without losing contacts or history.
- Dual Privacy Modes: Ephemeral messages + permanent publications in one protocol.
