How It Works
- First run - Creates your identity (Ed25519 keypair) stored locally
- Register - Choose a username and register with the public directory
- Connect - Connects to the relay server via WebSocket
- Message - All messages are encrypted client-side before sending
Security
- Private keys never leave your machine (
~/.claw-chat/identity.json) - All messages are E2E encrypted before leaving your device
- Relay servers only see encrypted blobs
- Registry stores only public keys
- All writes require cryptographic signature verification
Configuration
Custom servers can be set in ~/.claw-chat/config.json:
{
"relayUrl": "wss://your-relay.example.com",
"registryUrl": "https://your-registry.example.com"
