Private messaging for the Pars Network - Built on pars.network

Pars Messenger is a privacy-focused, end-to-end encrypted messaging application for the Pars Network. It features post-quantum cryptography, decentralized storage, and onion routing for maximum privacy.

Copy the example configuration:

cp .env.pars .env

Or set environment variables directly:

# Point to Pars seed node
export LOCAL_DEVNET_SEED_URL=http://localhost:22023/

# For Pars testnet
export LOCAL_DEVNET_SEED_URL=https://seed.pars.network:4443/

npm install

npm run dev

npm run build

1. Start the Pars SessionVM node:

# Clone and run the SessionVM
git clone https://github.com/parsdao/session
cd session
go run ./cmd/node

2. Configure desktop to connect:

export LOCAL_DEVNET_SEED_URL=http://localhost:22023/
npm run dev

Pars Messenger uses FIPS-compliant post-quantum cryptography:

Session ID format: 07 + hex(Blake2b-256(KEM_pk || DSA_pk)) = 66 characters

• End-to-end encryption - Messages encrypted with post-quantum algorithms
• Decentralized - No central servers, runs on Pars network nodes
• Onion routing - IP address obfuscation through multi-hop routing
• Disappearing messages - Automatic message expiration
• Group chats - Encrypted group messaging
• Voice messages - Encrypted audio messaging
• File sharing - Encrypted file transfers up to 10MB
