Shazzle unleashes the power of peer-to-peer connectivity to allow private internet communications, messaging, private social media, and tokenized and secure payments safe from the centralized authority intrinsic to the Client/Server architecture of the Web by allowing users to serve content directly from their smartphone and connected devices. ShazzleChat offers a decentralized platform in which each smartphone becomes a user’s private network which we believe reduces man in the middle, device at rest, and aggregate server security breaches. No centralized record of the contents of the communication is ever created. Further, because the content itself resides only with the Sender and Recipient, Shazzle prevents the data aggregation, data-mining, and discovery to which all web communications are exposed. Shazzle connects sender and receiver facilitating an encrypted channel where users send communications and content (even video with no limits on file size or length). Shazzle never receives or stores a copy of the message. Instead the user is in total control of their privacy, with no need to trust anyone other than their intended receiver, and all without the limits on file size or content. This architecture ensures privacy because possession of communications content is limited to the Sender and the Recipient only.
