tl;dr Eppie is a community-powered providerless email (with a soft spot for stars ⭐ on GitHub 😁)

The Big Picture 🦄

Our mission is to take private data away from the servers of the Big Tech and allow users to be independent owners of their identities. We believe that decentralized trustless networks are ready to bring freedom and justice to the Internet. For everyone, not just a few advanced crypto enthusiasts. But first, Web3 needs some more every-day utility. Like an email.

Here Comes The Community🎉

A conventional email has a server. It "provides the service" to the users and, along the way, takes full control over their accounts and data.

Eppie is nothing like that. It operates entirely in a p2p network, where users provide the service to each other. Your messages are encrypted, delivered, and stored by the combined efforts of every user in the system. Why is it better? Your email finally belongs to you.

• Nobody can access it
• Nobody can prevent you from using it
• And it is protected — not by one server, but by millions of other users machines

With all that said, Eppie is simple, beautiful, easy to set up and use: accept your seed phrase and you are all set. It is compatible with other DID standards and can send messages within Eppie’s own network or directly to any crypto wallet. Eppie integrages ENS which allows direct communication between ENS addresses and recieving normal Web2 emails to ENS address.

The client application is also compatible with normal email, so you can keep using you Gmail or Microsoft Outlook along with the decentralized mailbox.

Connect your existing mailboxes and crypto wallets. Make them public or make them invisible at will.

Features

• 🌎 Works on all platforms: Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android
• 🕶️ Privacy-first: there's no such thing as optional encryption
• 🚀 P2P messaging: without servers nobody's holding your hand anymore

NOTE: the project is early in development, not all of the features are publicly availabe

Fun fact 👀

Eppie can use conventional email as a name service: so you send a message to Gmail address, but it never lands on the server and goes straight to the decentralized network.

The Team 🤓 😾 🥳

We are 10 nerds with a passion for decentralized web. Our company is based in Estonia — it is one of the best countries in Europe for Web3 project development in terms of legislation. We have been building multi-platform applications for more than 10 years. Our previously released products have 20 million downloads worldwide. Among other things, our programmers are involved in development of Beam — confidential cryptocurrency and DeFi platform.

Why You Need Another Email? 📬

Your mailbox probably stores all sorts of important information — on your business and social activity, financial state, health, consumer behavior etc. You might even be using it as an identity provider to log into some crypto exchange and dozens of other services. Email is the core of your digital identity.

Yet, of 4+ billion email accounts in the world, about 0 belong to users. You log in — the server decides whether to allow you to use your identity or not. This is a privacy violation by design. Identity naturally belongs to human, it should not be a service.

• Own your messages at all times With a decentralized network you never have to trust a server to deliver your message. You create it, you own it. This is guaranteed by the whole community

• Exchange messages with Gmail and Ethereum network Eppie will be compatible with conventional email and Ethereum addresses at launch, with many more to come. Switch to Web3 — stay connected to everyone.

• Don’t manage keys, manage contacts In Eppie identity management finally makes sense: create an identity card, choose people to share it with — so they can message you, not your hash.

• Move your old mailbox to Web3 Any mailbox including Gmail. Emails and contacts. Make your data truly private by moving it to a decentralized network.

How Does It Work? ⚙️

The client application encrypts the data, breaks it to pieces and stores them on random nodes of the network — the other client machines. The address is also a public key. Only the user can retrieve the data using their matching private key. No one else has access to it, including us, the developers.

And no one has the authority to allow or disallow a user into their account. The decision is made on your machine, locally. Whoever owns the key, owns the mailbox.

Project Updates 🏗

We have finally made Eppie public! It is still in Alpha and the decentralized messaging only works in a test network. But you can try it anyway, both GUI and CLI applications.

Here is a GUI app.

And this is a CLI client for you, terminal lovers ❤️

Also, we are still improving ProtonMail integration: Eppie is the first native desktop client capable of authenticating at ProtonMail, the largest title on privacy-first conventional email market.

Join us 🤝

We admire Open-Source movement for its altruism and creativity. Its philosophy resonates with our own and that of our project. But admiration aside, transparency is one of the keys to global success of the project. It is crucial for a trust-less decentralized solution, such as Eppie, to be available for anyone to verify. This is why Eppie protocol, and the application source code will be fully available on our GitHub. We’re conducting a public security audit shortly before launch and we welcome anyone to contribute or criticize.
