# What is SECR

SECR is a decentralized iOS and Android communication application built for users who want private, secure, and censorship-resistant communication. It combines encrypted messaging, anonymous calling, hidden chats, and a powerful self-custody crypto wallet, all inside one multi-platform application.

SECR does not require phone numbers, email addresses, or identity data to register. Users communicate through encrypted channels that protect messages, calls, files, and group chats from surveillance, interception, and tracking. The platform includes tools such as inbuilt VPN, optional TOR routing, EXIF data obfuscation, Destruct PINs, and secure PIN-locked conversations to support users in high-risk environments.

SECR aims to provide a safe communication space that works even under censorship, device seizure, network monitoring, or local restrictions, without relying on centralized identities or user profiling.

#### Core SECR Network features

**1. Secure Communication**\
End-to-end encrypted messaging, voice calls, file sharing, and group chats. SECR is built to minimize metadata exposure and resist surveillance. Features like hidden chats, PIN-locked conversations, destruct PINs, optional TOR routing, and an inbuilt VPN give users control over how visible or traceable their activity is.

**2. Self-Custody Wallet**\
A fully integrated wallet that works like a standard crypto wallet, users can send, receive, and manage assets normally.&#x20;

On top of that, SECR enables anonymous payments through its username system. Funds can be sent directly to a username without either party seeing the underlying wallet address. SECR handles address resolution internally and routes transactions through mixing mechanisms, breaking the direct link between sender and recipient. On-chain settlement remains standard, but identities and wallet mappings stay private within the SECR network.
