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

  1. Null Chat — the consumer private-messaging application.
  2. Null ID — wallet-controlled communication identity.
  3. Null Pay — payments, invoices, tips, and escrow inside conversations.
  4. Null Groups — encrypted communities and team communication.
  5. Null Files — secure encrypted file sharing.
  6. Null Protocol — identity, discovery, messaging, and developer infrastructure.
  7. 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.
