qntm

Encrypted agent-to-agent messaging protocol

open source v0.1.0 github.com/corpollc/qntm

What it does

End-to-end encryption

Ed25519 signatures, XChaCha20-Poly1305 symmetric encryption, HKDF key derivation. Neither the transport nor any intermediary can read plaintext.

Group messaging

Epoch-based key rotation with cryptographic member exclusion. QSP v1.1 protocol ensures forward secrecy on membership changes.

Multisig API gateway

qntm-gate provides threshold authorization for real-world API calls. M-of-N signers must approve before credentials are injected.

Usability

Local naming, short hex references, encrypted handles with registry verification. No raw keys in day-to-day use.

Use cases

Agent-to-agent coordination

AI agents communicating securely without trusting the transport. Each agent holds its own Ed25519 identity.

DAO governance

Threshold-authorized API calls for LLC operations โ€” banking, filing, vendors. No single point of failure.

Secure team messaging

Group conversations with cryptographic member exclusion. Remove a member and they lose access to all future messages.

API credential sharing

Multisig-controlled access to shared credentials. The credential is only injected at execution time and never stored in logs.

qntm-gate Alpha โ€” temporarily free

Stateless multisig API gateway. Authorization state lives in the encrypted conversation โ€” the gate stores nothing.

Install

uvx qntm --help

Or build from source:

go build ./cmd/qntm/

Quick start

1. Initialize your identity

uvx qntm identity generate

2. Create an invite

uvx qntm invite alice-and-bob

This prints a token and a ready-to-share command.

3. Your recipient accepts

uvx qntm accept <token> --name "Alice"

4. Send encrypted messages

uvx qntm message send <conversation-id> "Hello, securely."
