Kizuna

Kizuna is a distributed, peer-to-peer, non-profit messaging application built on Holochain. We don't own, track or sell your data. You own your identity and information. As a distributed application, Kizuna is more private, secure, and censorship-resistant. It is completely open sourced. This means anyone can review and contribute to our development.
