Anonymous messaging with a non-custodial wallet built in — encrypted today, and designed to stay that way as computing evolves.
What we don't have can't be leaked.
Your identity is a key on your device — not a row in our database.
Your identity is generated on your device in seconds — no sign-up, no phone number, no email. You’re a cryptographic key, not a user profile.
It’s all built on the SimpleX protocol — no user IDs, no central directory — with post-quantum encryption that raises the bar against ‘Harvest Now, Decrypt Later’ capture.
Creating a group works like starting a chat — no admin account, and no member list stored anywhere but on each participant’s own device. Add people with an invite link or a QR code, and anyone can leave anytime.
Tor routing is built in and optional — turn it on when you want it.
Hiding your IP usually means fiddly proxy setup; in Arpokrat it’s a single toggle. Turn it on and your traffic is wrapped in encryption and bounced through independent relays — off by default, always your choice.
Payments happen inside the chat — no separate app, no bank.
Your wallet lives in the same encrypted space as your chats, so sending crypto is as easy as sending a photo — peer to peer, with no bank or middleman watching.
Non-custodial means the keys never leave your device — we cannot freeze, seize, or lose your funds.
Your private keys are generated and stored on your device, never on our servers — so we can’t access, freeze, or recover your funds, and neither can anyone else.
Arpokrat surfaces offers from many providers — you decide how much privacy each trade is worth.
Arpokrat’s swap is an aggregator: it lists live offers from independent third-party providers, each scored A–F on how much KYC it demands. Your funds never touch our infrastructure — the swap runs directly between you and the provider you pick.
Arpokrat’s relay software is open source. If you’d rather not rely on ours, run your own — connect it to the network and route your own traffic through infrastructure only you control.
Where your relays live matters as much as how strong your encryption is.
So we host ours only in jurisdictions chosen for strong privacy law and independence from cross-border data-demand regimes.
SwitzerlandRenowned for its Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). Outside the EU/EEA, offering independent legal protection.
IcelandHome to the International Modern Media Institute (IMMI). Legislation specifically engineered for privacy.
PanamaNo mandatory data retention laws. Aligns perfectly with our data minimization policy.
MalaysiaA sophisticated digital-economy framework with a distinct legal system that resists extraterritorial requests.
MauritiusA GDPR-aligned Data Protection Act (2017) and an independent legal system outside the major surveillance-sharing alliances.
