The Permissionless Software Foundation is more of a loose network of libertarian cypherpunks who love to discuss technology, as opposed to a conventional organization. Most of the action happens in our chat rooms. Jump in and join the conversation!


  • PSF Telegram Channel - The majority of communication takes place on our Telegram channel. Pop in and say 'Hello'. This is the place to ask questions and get to know the community.
  • PSF Chat Server - This is our prototype chat application. It's 100% open source, decentralized, and end-to-end encrypted. It's syndicated over IPFS, so it's incredibly difficult to censor, and it can be accessed through any web browser on any device. If you want to engaing in private, real-time, text-based communication, this is a great way to do it.
