We're developing Secure Net and CommonVeil through Comutability, our community-led open-source initiative.

Secure Net is our Rust-based decentralised communication protocol, designed around end-to-end encryption, post-quantum security, zero-knowledge technologies, federation and user-owned identities.

CommonVeil is our social and community platform built on top of Secure Net, where users can communicate privately, join independently governed communities and move between servers without losing their digital identity or data.

We're particularly interested in Bonfire Networks' modular architecture, ActivityPub federation, Circles and Boundaries, community moderation, governance tools and account portability.

We'd love to explore how we could adapt some of these ideas, integrate compatible features or establish interoperability with Bonfire, while maintaining our Rust-based architecture and stronger privacy goals.

Ultimately, we're working towards an open ecosystem where communities control their platforms, individuals own their identities, and privacy and decentralisation are fundamental rather than optional.

👋 Hello, Bonfire community!

We're Comutability, a community-led, open-source initiative working to build technology that puts people, privacy and digital freedom first.

We're currently developing two connected projects:

🔐 Secure Net, a decentralised communication protocol being developed in Rust, with a focus on end-to-end encryption, post-quantum security, zero-knowledge technologies, federation and user-owned identities.

🌐 CommonVeil, a privacy-first social and community platform built around Secure Net, designed to let people communicate securely, create independent communities and move between servers without losing their digital lives.

We're particularly interested in what Bonfire Networks is doing with modular architecture, ActivityPub federation, Circles and Boundaries, and community-led moderation.

Our goal isn't to reinvent everything. We want to learn from existing open-source projects, explore interoperability, and potentially bring similar capabilities into our own ecosystem.

We're still building, learning and experimenting, and we'd love to connect with developers, maintainers and anyone passionate about decentralisation.

What do you think is the biggest missing piece in today's decentralised social networks?

We'd love to hear your thoughts and learn from this community.
