Why Build Your Own Node?

Data Sovereignty

• Full Control: All data stored on your own server
• No Surveillance: No central authority can access your communications
• Privacy Protection: End-to-end encryption ensures only you can read your messages
• Your Decision: Decide where data is stored, how long to keep it, and backup strategies

Technical Advantages

• Easy Deployment: One-click installation script, up and running in minutes
• Standard Compatible: Support SMTP/IMAP, works with any email client
• Blockchain Authentication: Use wallet signatures, no passwords to remember
• Flexible Extension: Modular architecture, add features as needed
• Automatic TLS: Integrated certificate management, automatic HTTPS configuration

Cost & Performance

• Low-Cost Operation: Runs on minimal server configuration
• High Performance: Written in Go, minimal resource usage
• Scalable: Supports personal use to enterprise-level deployment
• Multiple Storage Options: SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, S3, and more

Core Principles

1. Privacy & Security

• End-to-end encryption using proven OpenPGP standard
• Local data storage - you control your data
• No tracking or analytics
