Encrypted messaging, hyperlocal social, anonymous forums, and a growth economy — all in one app that respects your privacy.
Every message is encrypted on your device before it leaves. The server stores only encrypted blobs — not even the Zoza team can read your messages. This isn't a setting you toggle on. It's the architecture.
Anyone who wants genuinely private conversations — journalists protecting sources, activists in hostile environments, crypto traders discussing alpha, couples who want real privacy, or anyone tired of big tech reading their messages to sell ads.
Create groups for your team, friends, or community. Every message is encrypted using the Sender Key protocol — efficient group encryption where only members can read messages.
Startup teams discussing confidential strategy, friend groups who want privacy from platforms, crypto DAOs coordinating in private, families sharing personal moments without surveillance.
Channels let admins broadcast to subscribers. Public channels are discoverable by search. Perfect for announcements, newsletters, or building an audience — with optional encryption.
Creators who want to build an audience without platform surveillance. Companies sending internal updates. Community leaders broadcasting to their network. Anyone who wants Telegram channels but with actual privacy.
Hangout is a hyperlocal social feed that shows you what's happening around you. See posts from people within 1-50 km. The feed changes as you move — every location has its own heartbeat. Think Reddit for your street, but ephemeral and real-time.
Today, there's no good way to talk to people around you digitally. Twitter is global. Instagram is about followers. Nextdoor is for homeowners complaining. Hangout fills the gap — it's for the person at the coffee shop, the student at the university, the traveler in a new city. You see what's around you, in real time, from real people. When you travel, your feed travels with you. Every neighborhood becomes alive.
Hangout creates location-locked network effects — the more people in a neighborhood use it, the more valuable it becomes for everyone there. This is the same dynamic that made Snapchat's Map and Pokémon Go viral. Each city is a new market that can be won independently. Growth is geographic and compounding.
Arena is an anonymous discussion platform with 34 topics across 6 pillars. Debate crypto markets, share salary data, confess anonymously, discuss politics, review restaurants — all without your identity attached. Your reputation is built on ideas, not your name.
People can't be honest on social media because everything is tied to their identity. Arena removes that barrier. When a doctor shares their salary, when someone confesses their career regret, when a trader shares their real P&L — anonymity creates honesty. The best conversations happen when people aren't performing for their followers.
Arena is Blind (anonymous workplace app, $200M+ valuation) meets Reddit, but with location context and financial data. The salary threads alone create massive retention — people come back to check and share compensation data. Combined with live market tickers, Arena becomes a daily-use product for anyone who cares about money, careers, or honest conversation.
Stakes is a parimutuel prediction market where you bet crypto on real-world outcomes. Create markets on anything — crypto, politics, sports, tech. Winners share the pool proportional to their stake. Every payout is publicly auditable.
Prediction markets are the most accurate forecasting tool ever invented. But Polymarket has no privacy, Kalshi charges insane fees, and most platforms require KYC. Stakes combines honest pricing with encrypted identity — your bets are private, your payouts are transparent, and the algorithm is open source.
Stakes is Polymarket meets Zoza's privacy stack. The key differentiator: encrypted betting + fair fees + built-in social. Users discuss predictions in encrypted chat, bet in Stakes, and verify on the public transparency page. This creates a unique flywheel — chat drives bets, bets drive engagement, engagement drives chat. Polymarket is valued at $1B+ with just a trading interface.
VP (Vault Points) is Zoza's internal points economy. Earn VP by using the platform, invite friends, share content. Climb tiers from Member to Founder. VP will power premium features, tipping, and the future on-chain token economy.
The VP system creates compounding engagement loops. Users earn for using the app, which makes them use it more, which earns them more. The invite system is viral by design — every user becomes a distribution channel. And the VP→token bridge creates a powerful narrative for early adopters who want to build value before the token launch.
Zoza is the first encrypted messenger that lets you bring both your 1:1 chats AND your groups — not just the names, but the full transcript, the members, the context. Export from WhatsApp, import into Zoza, keep going.
The #1 reason people stay on WhatsApp is "my friends and my chats are there." Zoza takes both excuses away. Import 1:1 chats and full groups, preserve every message, keep original sender attribution, and de-duplicate automatically when multiple people migrate. Every byte of your imported history is encrypted with a key that never leaves your device — not even we can read it.
Zoza isn't just another messaging app. It's a privacy-first platform that combines encrypted communication, hyperlocal social, anonymous forums, and a token economy — all built on key-pair identity that the user owns.
Towns Protocol raised $35M from a16z for encrypted group chat. Zoza has that plus hyperlocal social, anonymous forums, a live financial data layer, and a token economy. All built and working.
Everything above is live and working. Open the app and see.
