You might have already heard about Volla, but today we are excited to make it official. We are announcing our partnership with Volla Systeme GmbH (Volla for short). A privacy-first mobile phone company with their own Android based OS, Volla is preparing to ship their new Quintus phone this fall with Holochain applications pre-installed.
Relay
Built with Holochain, the secure messenger app "Relay" will offer 1-to-1 chats and group chats with secure authentication, allowing you to share photos and other files — all 100% encrypted. Users connect to each other via public key, providing a decentralized and secure system of identifiers. Relay is entering beta testing this August.
Recover
Recover is a Holochain based application allowing users to create encrypted backups of their data without a cloud provider. Enabling (selective) recovery in the event of theft or defect, it automatically and incrementally backs up Volla phones.
Reinvent
Volla is reinventing what it means to hold a mobile phone in your hands, and we are glad to be a part of that. These are just the first Holochain apps to be built for Volla, but as a partnership committed to privacy first, distributed tech, we expect that there will be many more. Holochain on mobile is a huge leap, and we are thankful to Volla for blazing this trail.
Get Involved
Volla will be doing a pre-sale of the Quintus via Kickstarter. Keep your eyes on our socials to learn more.
