OpenPulse is how you communicate. Encrypted handles, DMs, collab, and agent streams on one session. Verify email, claim @you, delete your realtime stack.
Pick a name, verify your email, and it is yours. One @handle on the network. No extra suffix. Messages stay encrypted end to end.
Be first. Claim your @handle

Wire SSOT · not storage
One encrypted session. Delete the stacked transports.
OpenPulse owns live truth — merge delivery, reconnect, and multiplexing until your app commits a snapshot. Mongo, S3, and vault indexing stay yours. Loro-class version sync, messenger-grade traces, CRDT collab, spine merges, and files ride the same E2EE wire.

A single CBOR envelope carries chat, CRDT deltas, trace commits, file chunks, and agent streams. Humans, agents, and services share one identity model and one trust model — a 10-byte message and a 10 GB file differ by profile, not by protocol.
Live cursors, trace drafts, agent tokens — one stream.
Version vectors, catch-up, fork, and frontiers on the same QUIC session as messenger-grade traces. 60/120Hz CRDT coalescing and Lane B agent drafts — no second transport for collab or SSE for chat.
60/120Hz collab
Live cursors, not refreshes.
Incremental STREAM presets carry CRDT operations at collaboration rate. Every keystroke is a sealed delta on the same wire as everything else.
Two peers edit one document over one stream.

Provider-native streams
Agents use the same channel.
An agent is a DID-bearing participant, not a separate network. MCP tool calls are one payload profile. Any provider or framework can stream tokens, tool results, and state deltas over the same encrypted session.

Live RTT from the Helsinki edge (HEL1). Frankfurt is next. Multiplexed streams and 0-RTT resumption on the hot path the relay is built for.

Mars is often occluded. Live one-way light time from JPL Horizons. The profile stays the same. The same envelope rides multi-week custody chains.

Trace graph for causality.
Causality that survives light-time.
Every encrypted event seals references to its parents. Replies can cross hours, days, or weeks of delay and arrive out of order. The graph preserves causality when clocks are not enough.

Operator-blind by design
Encrypt before it leaves. Blind in the middle.
Production 1:1 sessions
Signal Protocol target
OpenPulse standardizes on official libsignal for X3DH and the Double Ratchet. Current static-session work is transitional and clearly tracked until the production ratchet is wired.
Production groups
MLS target
Group encryption is specified around MLS: one tree, thousands of members, and epoch-based rekeying once the production adapter lands.
Infrastructure
Operator-blind relays
Relays route sealed envelopes and see routing metadata only, never plaintext. Metadata minimization is specified, not implied.
