# What is Luffa?

<br>

Luffa is a next-generation encrypted social platform built on the Endless protocol. It leverages an end-to-end encryption (E2EE) communication model and employs a hybrid encryption architecture combining RSA and AES.&#x20;

By utilising a globally-distributed network of nodes and decentralized storage technology, Luffa ensures that all message content remains fully inaccessible to any intermediary nodes - including the platform itself - throughout the entire transmission process.
