Stay privately connected. No phone number

Many messengers begin with a mobile number or a central user account. KBeam uses a cryptographic identity instead. It provides a technical anchor for contacts, encryption and signatures without requiring a phone number or email address as a conventional identity anchor.

This does not mean that no technical data exists. The app processes local content and settings, while transport services need technical metadata for delivery, reliability and abuse prevention. The difference is that your real name, email and phone number are not prerequisites for ordinary private messaging.

Contacts connect through their KBeam identity and an intentional contact request. You decide who receives your contact route. KBeam does not need to make your personal address book the foundation of your identity.

Private messages are encrypted on the device before they reach the transport path. Ordinary text messages, voice messages, photos and videos do not require you to maintain a KAS balance.

For Wallet V2, KBeam is developing a stronger separation between contact identity and payment compartments. The plan is to renew a communication identity selectively and share the new mapping only with chosen contacts through encrypted messages.

This rotation is a roadmap feature, not a promise about the currently released version. The website therefore always marks it clearly as in development.
