Mold is an encrypted messaging app that did not appear at the business meeting of an American startup. Mold was born thanks to the efforts of one person who watched countries sink into regime chaos and silence. Out of the belief that technology can return to people their lawful right to a voice.
The United States remains the only country where the Constitution has recognized encryption as a constitutionally protected form of freedom of speech, where federal institutions actively fund tools to fight censorship, and where the legal system consistently defends the right to build an encrypted messaging app that authoritarian governments of other countries are trying to suppress.
In 1999, the US Federal Court of Appeals ruled that cryptographic source code is protected by the First Amendment: "the same way that mathematicians use equations or economists use graphs". For example, in Russia, the creation of a messenger without a phone number can lead to criminal prosecution. In America, building an end to end encryption messenger makes you a person exercising a constitutional right.
The US government, through the Open Technology Fund, the State Department, and USAGM, has invested more than $400 million in internet freedom since 2008. Signal, Tor, WireGuard, Let's Encrypt, Psiphon, Briar, and much more, all funded by American taxpayers who believe that people everywhere deserve free communication and the protection of private correspondence.
Americans know firsthand what it means to fight for the right to speak. It is built into the DNA of this country. From the Federalist Papers to the civil rights movements and the well-known crypto wars of the 1990s. The American people instinctively understand why tools like the encrypted messenger Mold must exist.
Many years of experience in software development and system administration with a focus on security architecture, infrastructure protection, and secure communications. Founder of Wiss Core and Mold Chat.
Mold is a secure messaging app that does not require a phone number for registration and works without a VPN. Created because no existing tool combines the three things that people in authoritarian countries actually need: encryption, delivery invisible to state analyzers, and a device that protects itself and its owner upon seizure. Mold was created to close the communication deficit gap in regime countries, drawing on two decades of practical experience in systems critical to security.
"I watched friends, comrades, and acquaintances learn self-censorship. First in public, then in private chats, then in their own thoughts..."

The best solution begins with a person. Not with investments, not with government ideas, not with market demand. With ordinary people. It is precisely such people that are the foundation of the existence of Mold.
Mold does not ask you to trust it. Mold asks you to verify. A messenger with open source code that allows anyone to check every line of its code. The most secure messaging app publishes transparency reports every six months. If we ever betray these values, the proof will become public before we can hide it.
We believe in democratic institutions, the rule of law, and the rights enshrined in the US Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We act in full compliance with US law and cooperate with lawful requests from US authorities. We reject the demands of authoritarian regimes. This is not a neutral position; it is a moral law.
Mold is an end to end encryption messenger for hidden communication, requiring no VPN, with only 3 external server dependencies. We choose the smallest possible attack surface. Nothing extra. Nothing personal.
Many products are designed for ordinary daily use: a fast network, a safe environment, friendly app stores. Mold is designed for the worst-case scenario: a blocked internet, a seized phone, hostile regime security forces, forensic examination. If Mold works on the worst day of your life, it will also work on the best.
We create Mold not because we hate some government. We create it because we love the people whom these governments are forcing into silence. Today, about 4.2 billion people live under the pressure of internet censorship and deserve the same freedom of speech that Americans take for granted. Mold is an act of love disguised as technology.
This block is updated as the project of the most secure messaging app develops. Checked items are completed. Everything else is just beginning.
To everyone who has ever deleted a message before sending, not because it was wrong, but because around you a repressive lawlessness is unfolding. To everyone who has learned to speak in general phrases with their own family. To everyone who knows how much their own phone weighs in their pocket while passing by the police.
I created this for you.
Mold is a secure and protected messenger. And it is still far from perfect. However, the first spore is already sprouting. And, if the process has begun, nothing can stop it anymore.
Alan Wiss, 2026
