Score: 7.5/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)
Vardum (formerly Veil) is an end-to-end encrypted messenger with post-quantum hybrid key exchange (X25519 + ML-KEM-768), double ratchet, ephemeral messages, duress/decoy codes, and a self-hosted relay. It stands out for its aggressive privacy model—no phone/email, in-memory keys, hard deletion, cover traffic—and for open-sourcing its crypto core, protocol, and relay under AGPL-3.0.
Target audience: privacy-conscious users, security researchers, backend devs, mobile devs
