The secure communications protocol we’ve been developing to upgrade billions of mobile subscribers with a Signal-like network officially has its own name ahead of our white paper release! Introducing The Bourbon Protocol: a permissionless, multipolar communications protocol for “sipping” that breaks free from legacy SS7/VoLTE and leverages decentralized accounts (DIDs) for users to power end-end encrypted voice, video and messaging with complete interoperability to the legacy telephony network. Dig into the details with our most recent article🥃👇 medium.com/@3NUMDAO/introduc…

How do people converse about things that matter? This exchange is telling. Scott, RFK and Chamath have a well know messaging-capable twitter account, but they connect via SMS using a phone number to carry on the serious conversation. This why @3numLabs is securing SMS!

The only thing missing from Signal is redundancy in the infrastructure. As a centralized service, it is vulnerable to outages like this as well as nation-state censorship. We need to decentralize Signal. Join @3numLabs effort to build this on top of AT Protocol.
Hi!✌️Personally, I’m not a fan of vibes-based trust. First VERIFY, then trust, is my motto. Which is why Signal is open source. We want everyone to be able to inspect our code, and our encryption protocol, and see for themselves the lengths we go to to protect your comms and collect as close to no data as possible. Many eyes make secure code, and we are grateful to all of the deep experts who spend their time looking closely at our repos and reporting issues when they find them. We also don’t think it’s responsible to run critical infrastructure—like Signal—without providing a means of validating its integrity (although sadly, many do). Open source should be the rule, not the exception. Signal is trusted by the security and hacker community, and hundreds of millions of others, BECAUSE they can examine it, and because on examination, it has shown to be robust, private, and secure–for over a decade. A lot of major tech platforms also trust the Signal Protocol for the same reason–they’ve scrutinized it, and it’s proven to be robust. Over 3 billion people communicate every day on services that use the Signal Protocol–it’s the gold standard in the industry for a reason, and that reason is that it’s been inspected, and verified, and it has stood the test of time. So in short, our public code, our tech, and our commitment to robust privacy are what we lead with, not marketing or promises. We don’t ask people to like us, or agree with us. We ask that you check our work, or ask those who you trust to check it, and make your own call. This is the future of tech that we believe in, and we’re proud to do our part to lead by example. ❤️ Check our work here: github.com/signalapp

Encryption doesn't help if app developers choose user growth over user privacy & agency! Encrypted communication protocols must be open so users can exit to a safer app. AT Secure Messaging Service built on AT Protocol is the open WhatsApp alternative. nytimes.com/2025/09/08/techn…

We are making progress on this! Built an early prototype on a fork of the Bluesky open source app! You can read more in the comments! 👇

Did I mention AT Protocol plays a pivotal role in this new protocol.

Our goal @3numLabs is to secure mobile voice and messaging. We started our journey by securing numbers against SIM Swap and relied on messaging rails built by others. None of them did quite what we needed, so we've gone head's down to build our own. Stay tuned for more soon! 👀

Now we need to decentralize and encrypt the voice and SMS so the carriers stop creeping on all your messages.

Unsolicited inbound messages (email, SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.) are a growing problem. Spam floods our inboxes today, and AI is making it worse. Here’s how messaging clients will evolve to tackle this:🧵 1/4

Phone numbers are NOT private, email address are NOT private, social security numbers are NOT private, any data that you have entered into any web site is NOT PRIVATE. You must assume all data on a web site will be breached and leaked, and build your tech accordingly.

for others interested E.164 is the ITU standard for globally routable phone numbers, limiting number length to 15 digits, including the 1-3 digit country code. eg: 🇺🇸 1 2065551212 🇮🇹 39 0497620111 So really, only 13 digits to prevent hash collision.

SIM Swap attacks occur because companies foolishly use SMS as a second factor for authentication. @3numLabs fixes this by magically turning your phone number into a secure public key. It also encrypts all your communications to protect your privacy. coinfomania.com/zachxbt-sim-…

Digital IDs should not give authorities the ability to track where or when you use it. Today, 3NUM and other privacy advocates are calling on authorities across the world to reject any identity systems that can "phone home." #NoPhoneHome

@helium demonstrated how to improve the networking layer with decentralized infrastructure. Next we need to improve the voice/SMS communications with a new decentralized end-to-end encrypted protocol. No more spam and fraud calls with @3numLabs

The reason Voice/SMS is vulnerable to fraud and account takeover is that telco employees “essentially have root access”

☎️Happy National Telephone Day☎️ March 10th of 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made the first call to his assistant Watson We've come far since the first call, but we must still add encryption and metadata privacy to protect our communications from Big Tech and hacker surveillance.
