Advanced Privacy Mechanism for Secret Messages

Pumpkin employs a robust, state-of-the-art privacy mechanism that ensures your secret messages remain just that - a secret. We're committed to providing you a safe and secure messaging environment. Connect freely, securely, and confidently!

End-to-End Encryption

  • When User A sends a message, it undergoes encryption using a unique key derived from the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) method.

  • The shared key generated by the ECDH algorithm is computed on the user's device using the public key of the other party's wallet and the private key of their own wallet.

  • This encryption ensures that the message remains confidential and can only be deciphered by the intended recipient, User B.

Respecting Data Privacy

  • An important note to our users: Our distributed message servers don't store any messages other than offline messages. Once a message is delivered and read, it's gone from our servers, leaving no digital trace behind.

Cutting-Edge Privacy Mechanism for Secret Contents

In Pumpkin, users have a desire for romance, and some photos/videos are intended to be viewable only by the people they like. We define such photos/videos as "private content". Our vision is to ensure absolute user privacy, and on Pumpkin, all private contents are encrypted using end-to-end encryption.

Decentralization & Performance

  • Pumpkin always prepares for the worst, and even if Pumpkin ceases to operate one day, we want your content to be permanently preserved. Therefore, your encrypted messages, photos, videos, including private ones, are stored in a decentralized file system (e.g., IPFS).

  • As it is widely known, the response time and concurrency performance of blockchain cannot compare to centralized servers. Therefore, we have designed a global network of multi-node cache servers that synchronize in real-time with the decentralized file system. In most cases, Pumpkin interacts directly with these distributed cache servers, providing you with an exceptional product experience.
