“Hi, I’m Mark, here’s how you can send a message to me.” Our Autonomous Communicator (AC) Protocol empowers people to autonomously define identities which they can exchange with others to form relationships for communicating over end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) messaging channels.
Integrating Germ with AT Protocol — Germ Network
End-to-end encrypted Germ DM is now a Bluesky messenger. In this technical post, we introduce the architecture of Germ’s integration with AT Protocol. From the beginning, Germ has been building for an interoperable E2EE ecosystem, and this extends to our integration with AT Protocol. We’ll define th

Germ DM x ATProto is Now in Beta — Germ Network
Germ DM is now a Bluesky messenger. We’ve integrated AT Protocol into our iOS app, so E2EE DMs have come to the Atmosphere! Germ DM is the end-to-end encrypted messenger that lets you talk freely—without a your phone number. It’s powered by Messaging Layer Security (MLS) and now connects to your A

Decentralized Pairwise MLS — Germ Network
Today, MLS is predominantly used in a centralized context, where a central entity hosts group state. Germ now leverages this powerful technology for decentralized 1:1 conversations, by letting users cooperatively advance group state.

Making MLS more decentralized
It’s no secret that we at Phoenix R&D are big fans of the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol, having helped it to come into existence. It’s a versatile group key agreement and messaging protocol that’s used to power both asynchronous and real-time applications. MLS is relatively

AT Protocol
The AT Protocol is a protocol and set of open standards for decentralized publishing and distribution of self-authenticating data within the social web. It serves as the technical foundation of the Bluesky social network, originally developed as a reference implementation for the protocol, as well as an ecosystem of interoperable social applications and services collectively referred to as the ATmosphere.
