ECHoD Whitepaper

A technical roadmap for the future of peer-to-peer communication. Decentralized, encrypted, and scalable.

Introduction

ECHoD is reimagining internet communication by building a decentralized protocol that eliminates reliance on centralized servers. This whitepaper outlines our architecture, design goals, and implementation roadmap.

Technical Architecture

Decentralized Network: Built on peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture using distributed hash tables (DHT) for node discovery and message routing.

Privacy by Design: All communications are end-to-end encrypted with post-quantum cryptographic algorithms.

Scalability: gossip protocol optimization ensures low latency even at massive scale (millions of nodes).

Use Cases

Secure Messaging

1:1 and group chats with automatic forward secrecy.

Decentralized Identity

Self-sovereign identity system with blockchain integration.

Privacy & Security

End-to-End encryption using Kyber and Dilithium post-quantum algorithms
Mitigation of Sybil attacks with stake-based discovery mechanisms
Zero-knowledge proof integration for metadata verification
Anonymous routing with onion-packet protocol

Development Roadmap

Q1 2025

Initial prototype with P2P discovery

Q2 2025

Alpha release with encrypted messaging

Q3 2025

Mainnet launch with DHT-based discovery
