Weaknesses

As promised, this week we will reveal the weaknesses of our project. We aim to be as honest as possible and will immediately describe how we plan to address these issues.

Legal Matters
We don’t have a legal department. We understand its importance, especially for a project entering the global market. For now, we rely on our own legal knowledge, which means mistakes are possible. We will strive to comply with all major laws that do not contradict our principles.
If you represent law enforcement, you can always contact us to report any violations.

We also want to emphasize that we strongly oppose actions aimed at harming people. That is why we have implemented an anti-fraud algorithm. As mentioned earlier, users can also participate in content moderation. These platform rules are constant.

- - Lack of Independent Audit
To increase user trust, independent security audits are essential. At the moment, we are not partnered with any such organizations. However, since our project is open source, anyone can act as an auditor.

Lack of "Popularity" —
We often hear questions like:

- Who is developing this project?
- Is it worth our attention and time?
- What projects has the team worked on before?

You may have heard of us, or maybe not. We haven't had large public projects before, and information about other projects we've created is under NDA.

Two main doubts you might have:

1. Will the project reach release? Is it worth my attention now?
These are logical questions. Many good and unique projects never make it to launch. We can’t predict everything to give a 100% guarantee, but we have solid planning and time management. We’ve also anticipated most potential challenges, and we have a clear roadmap for the next year. We share our current progress here, confirming our determination to move forward.

2. Could my money or data be stolen?
Developers can easily verify a project's integrity, but what about regular users? In the era of AI (LLMs), anyone can review open-source projects, even without coding knowledge. This still isn’t an absolute guarantee, but such verification should be enough for most users. Later, we'll publish a detailed guide on how to check a project and stay safe online.

Lack of Personnel
Unfortunately, some members of our small team have left for personal reasons. There are currently two people on the team, which is not enough for active development. Maintaining three parallel clients (Desktop, iOS, Android) requires at least three developers.

Since we are an open-source project, anyone can join development. However, at early stages, it's hard to find active contributors. Therefore, we decided to build the foundation ourselves first to demonstrate capabilities before expanding the team.

Recruiting new members requires verifying their qualifications and work quality. We also need strict access control, which requires additional preparation. Selecting the right people demands careful screening from a large pool of candidates.

As a project focused on user trust and security, we treat this matter with special care. Even large companies sometimes employ dishonest workers. We intentionally limit the number of core team members to reduce such risks, as we are not yet fully equipped to monitor all work processes. Developing tools that balance oversight and employee freedom will take time.

We have efficiently distributed our current tasks so that the minimal team can handle them. At this protocol development stage, there is no need to expand the team yet.

But here's some good news: we already have a date for the first recruitment phase. After the beta release, we will open testing positions for anyone who wishes to participate.
