Two clients, one open protocol.
PrivChat and exine are both ECCP client implementations. They sit above the same Layer 1 protocol and Layer 2 homeserver network, which means third parties can build their own clients without waiting for a central product team.
PrivChat
A calmer messaging experience that hides protocol complexity and makes private communication feel normal.
Target audience
Mainstream users, teams, and communities that want clear privacy defaults.
exine
A denser, code-shaped interface with plugin hooks, CLI workflows, and composable automation surfaces.
Target audience
Developers, moderators, and power users who prefer direct control.
Open implementation model
ECCP is strongest when Layer 3 remains competitive. Build a mobile app, a moderation console, an embedded client, or a niche UX without fragmenting the network.
