Three steps, any ERC-20, no KYC, no card, the domain lands in your wallet on-chain.
- [Sudo's threat model: what we actually defend against](https://sudochat.app/blog/sudos-threat-model-what-we-actually-defend-against): Every secure messenger has a threat model. Most do not share theirs. This is ours — what we defend against, what we do not, and where we draw the line.
- [The reputation graph that keeps farmer rings out of Sudo mining](https://sudochat.app/blog/the-reputation-graph-that-keeps-farmer-rings-out-of-mining): Pair-to-earn mining is profitable. That makes it a target. We built a wallet reputation graph that scores conversations for authenticity — here is how it stays one step ahead of sybil farmers without snooping on real users.
- [Smart-contract groups: communities that index themselves](https://sudochat.app/blog/smart-contract-groups-communities-that-index-themselves): Paste a contract address. Every wallet that ever interacted with it — and is on Sudo — joins your group automatically. Here is how indexed communities cut moderation work in half and what the trade-offs are.

We picked option three— a global SFU mesh that never sees plaintext.

Three seconds later they have it. No copy-paste, no QR code, no app switch. Here is the plumbing that makes it feel like Venmo on chain.
- [Inside the .sudo registry: namespaces, subnames and the ENS bridge](https://sudochat.app/blog/inside-the-sudo-registry-namespaces-subnames-ens): Your .sudo name is more than a vanity URL. It is an ERC-721 token that resolves your wallet, your team, your bot and your future address — across every Sudo client and every external dApp.
- [MLS in production: how Sudo encrypts group chats with 2,000 members](https://sudochat.app/blog/mls-in-production-encrypting-2000-member-group-chats): One-to-one end-to-end encryption is solved. Group E2EE at scale is not — until you adopt MLS. Here is how Sudo runs encrypted Stage rooms with 2,000 wallets without leaking a single byte of plaintext.
- [Sign-In with Ethereum: how Sudo replaced passwords with cryptography](https://sudochat.app/blog/sign-in-with-ethereum-how-sudo-replaced-passwords): Sudo has no password field, no email field, no recovery questions. The only thing we ever ask for is a signature from a wallet you already control. Here is what that means, why it matters and how it works under the hood.

- [Why validators are hidden by default](https://sudochat.app/blog/why-validators-are-hidden-by-default): On-chain dispute resolution gets harder the moment a validator can be targeted, bribed or doxxed. We built Sudo's validator network around the assumption that none of those three should ever be possible — and shipped it as the default.
