How Agni Messaging Works
A public overview of Agni, Sakviti's protocol-native private messaging layer.
Dated post. This March 2026 overview is retained for the public blog.
Agni is Sakviti's built-in encrypted messaging layer. It is designed so people and applications can exchange private messages using the same peer-to-peer network that supports payments and services.
The Core Problem
Many decentralized networks can move value, but messaging often falls back to centralized infrastructure. Agni is designed to make private communication a native part of the network instead of a separate service bolted on later.
Private Routes
Agni uses multi-hop encrypted routes. Each relay only handles its part of the path and does not need to know the full conversation. The design keeps message delivery decentralized while reducing what any single participant can observe.
User Experience
The goal is for Agni to feel simple inside Nexus and other Sakviti apps: choose a recipient, send a message, and let the network handle routing, encryption, and delivery.
Why It Matters
Messaging is a foundation for social apps, collaboration, marketplaces, notifications, support, and community coordination. By making messaging protocol-native, Sakviti can support richer applications without sending users back to centralized communication platforms.
