Configurable Communication Channels for qaul

Distributed messaging over verifiable P2P channels

qaul is a privacy-preserving, internet-independent, off-the-grid, delay-tolerant P2P mesh messenger that can be used even in emergency situations. In this project, we will implement configurable communication channels in qaul. This implementation will create an enhanced proximity-aware and connection-aware publish/subscribe protocol with verifiable channels. These channels can be configured for open discussions, trusted information channels, distributed spam protection, or distributed network protection. The project will also optimize the onboarding process for new users in local communities.
