Keep the network up
Bootstrap nodes, relays, the identity directory and this site run on real servers — roughly $100 a month, out of pocket, every month. Your support keeps them on.
Back the build
Help me ship RVNT.
RVNT is built by a small team. Full transparency: that's one developer, going hard, entirely out of pocket. No VC, no investors, no ad money, no data to sell. If you want a serverless, post-quantum messenger to exist, this is how you make it happen faster.
🎯 Target release: August 1, 2026 · payments are the last big piece still in progress
Why I'm asking
Most "free" messengers are paid for by knowing everything about you. RVNT is built to make that impossible — no telemetry, no central servers for your content, no business model that depends on you. The flip side of refusing surveillance money is simple: there's no one else paying for this. It's me, and whoever decides it's worth backing.
I'm not asking you to fund a promise. The work is in the open — read the docs, check the roadmap, watch the canary. If that earns a few dollars from you, it goes straight back into shipping.
Donate — and tell me what to build
When you chip in, leave a message with your donation: the feature you want, the thing that would make you switch, the deal-breaker that's keeping you on Signal. I read every one, and they shape what ships next. One flow: back the project and point it.
Donations open here within days — the page is being set up right now.
Want to be the first backer? Watch the roadmap — the donate button goes live here the moment it's ready, and there's no fake button in the meantime.
Where your support goes
Ship it to the stores
Apple's Developer Program is $99/year and Google Play is a one-time $25 — the toll booths between a finished build and the phone in your hand.
Fund the security audit
The big one. An independent, professional crypto audit runs into the tens of thousands of dollars. It's the milestone that lets RVNT stop saying "not yet audited" — and it's the thing I most want your help to reach.
Can't donate? Still huge.
- Tell one person who'd care about a private, serverless messenger. Word of mouth is the whole growth plan.
- Hit the roadmap and the blog — the more eyes on the work, the better.
- Found a bug or a sharp edge? Email
[email protected]. Security issues go to[email protected](PGP available).
One promise: money never buys influence over the security model. Donations fund the work — they don't get anyone a backdoor, a logging exception, or a place in the threat model. That line doesn't move.
