Null is a wallet-native private communication network for encrypted messaging, anonymous identities, private groups, secure file sharing, and onchain payments.
Users connect a wallet, create a Null ID, generate communication keys, and enter a protected inbox. They do not need to provide a phone number, email address, or traditional password.
Your identity can be null. Your communication remains verifiable.
What the network allows
The network allows users to:
- create an identity controlled by a wallet;
- send end-to-end encrypted messages;
- receive contact requests through a protected inbox;
- reduce spam using permission controls and optional sender bonds;
- create encrypted private or token-gated groups;
- send payment requests, invoices, tips, and USDG inside conversations;
- share encrypted files;
- use disappearing messages;
- build messaging features through the Null Protocol SDK.
Seven connected products
- Null Chat — the consumer private-messaging application.
- Null ID — wallet-controlled communication identity.
- Null Pay — payments, invoices, tips, and escrow inside conversations.
- Null Groups — encrypted communities and team communication.
- Null Files — secure encrypted file sharing.
- Null Protocol — identity, discovery, messaging, and developer infrastructure.
- NULL — a proposed utility token for network coordination and anti-abuse mechanisms.
Null should initially focus on delivering a secure and useful communication product. The token and advanced economic systems are introduced only after the core application proves its utility — see the NULL token record.
