How AXIOM Works

Your messages are split across the network so no single computer — including ours — can read them.

The Problem with Traditional Messaging

Even "secure" messengers have a fatal flaw

Traditional Messengers

You
Company Server
Friend
  • Single point of failure
  • Can be hacked or subpoenaed
  • Company sees who you talk to
  • Can be shut down anytime

AXIOM

You
Friend
10 independent nodes worldwide
  • No single point of failure
  • Need 7 nodes to read anything
  • No company to subpoena
  • Cannot be shut down

The Journey of a Message

What happens when you hit send

Step 1

You send a message

Type your message and hit send. From your perspective, it works just like any other messenger — instant and familiar.

Step 2

Quantum Encryption

Before leaving your device, your message is encrypted with ML-KEM-768 — a post-quantum algorithm that resists future quantum computers.

NIST FIPS 203 Standard
Step 3

Split into 10 Shares

Using Shamir's Secret Sharing, your encrypted message is split into 10 pieces. Each piece alone is mathematically meaningless — random noise.

7
8

10

Each share goes to a different node around the world

Step 4

Reconstruction

When the recipient opens the conversation, their device collects at least 7 of the 10 pieces and reconstructs the original message. This happens automatically in seconds.

10

Only need 7 — 3 can be offline or compromised

Why 7-of-10?

Security

An attacker needs to compromise 7 different nodes to read a single message

Reliability

Even if 3 nodes go offline, your message can still be delivered

Speed

We don't need to wait for all 10 — first 7 wins

What about files and voice?

File attachments (up to 5MB) and voice messages use the exact same process. They're encrypted, split into 10 pieces, and distributed across the network.

Same security. Same reliability.
