◤◢ Privacy by Principle ◤◢

Vector is a decentralized communication platform built on the Nostr Protocol, offering no-compromise encryption with zero metadata leakage and plausible deniability for all content, including texts, media, voice notes, and files, adhering to the NIP-17 standard. It natively integrates BIP-39, allowing every Vector account to function as a crypto wallet and vice versa, streamlining tasks like address sharing and payments through compatibility with native wallets like MPW. Vector leverages local, private, device-powered AI to provide practical features such as voice message transcription, language translation, and meme gif search via a decentralized relay-based index. Its resilience is ensured by community-run Nostr relays, eliminating downtime, and its fully open-source codebase—from infrastructure to protocol specs—avoids proprietary lock-in, making it unkillable and transparent.

Open-source technology developed by Formless Labs.

Hey! Thanks for reaching out, this is no issue. It is common for all apps that aren't notarized by Apple.

Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down, and there should be a message about Vector being blocked with an "Open Anyway" button. Click that, then reopen the app and confirm.


We have this documented on our GitBook if you also want to reference:

The auto-delete timer down to 10 seconds is a game-changer, but isn't full anonymity tough to square with Bitcoin's transparent ledger anyway? 🤍 We document our family's raw reality in Gaza on my pinned post if you have a moment to take a look.

Privacy is critical, but adoption often demands compromise—regulators won’t embrace fully anonymous systems. On-chain analytics already de-anonymize many "private" Bitcoin transactions. That said, ETF inflows (especially post-2026 halving) show institutional appetite hinges on compliance, not...

Vector's point about ephemeral messages makes sense when you're actually staring at your screen all day. Though I'm still half-tempted to see if the encryption holds up against a simple spam attack.

Hi, thanks for the tag. Free for the user is likely what he is mentioning. Vector is free to use for anyone, as is Nostr. Yes, it does cost to host Nostr Relays, but the end-user does not have to pay for that or contribute to it if they don't want... hence, the freedom to choose.

Correct, iOS is not available yet for Vector.

The biggest difference is that you can see how Vector operates because it's entirely open-source and decentralized, rather than having to rely on documents and a privacy policy, ultimately blind trust that no one else can verify but those authorized to do so.

The enshittification of traditional messengers and communication platforms are what inspired us to create Vector and thankfully discover Nostr.

These are the precise types of reasons below why people must learn to deny any measure of KYC. Many of the challenges are not just technical, but social. People will continue to go to apps where their friends, family, work teams, etc. are. This is up to us to help get the messaging out that there are alternatives. Additionally, it is also why Vector remains adamant about supporting other privacy messengers, especially here on Nostr. Let the people choose what works best for their needs, but give them choices.

What's the point of having Freedom Tech if 90% of your real connections and network are still on traditional surveillanceware?

Vector’s pivot to Nostr highlights a direct response to the 2023 wave of messenger platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram) implementing mandatory phone number verification, a 40%+ increase in such policies since 2021. When users reject KYC, do they also reject the convenience these platforms offer?

NOSTR fixes this. Armada and Vector are so needed I can't wait for the competition on Discord replacement.

Totally agree—KYC-free platforms are vital for dissent where regimes weaponize financial surveillance. I was just reading about how Iran’s protests are fueled by tools that evade state control, but adoption hinges on breaking social inertia. Grassroots education is key. https://theboard.world...
