THE PROTOCOL:
HOW TO INTERCEPT AN ECHO
Every hunt begins with a signal. Once you receive an .echo file , the Echo interface becomes your eyes and ears. Follow the radar, track the coordinates, and unlock the memory exactly where it was born.
THE TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL
Four steps to turning a moment into a physical mission.
01 | ANCHOR
Plant an Echo, by capturing a photo, voice log, or text at your current location. The app pins the data to your precise GPS coordinates, creating a permanent link between the memory and the earth.
02 | ENCRYPT
The app packages your memory into a secure .echo file using AES-256 encryption. This ensures the data is a locked vault that can only be accessed through the Echo interface.
03 | TRANSMIT
Share the encrypted file with your friends. You aren't just sending a message; you are sending a physical mission that only they can complete.
04 | INTERCEPT
The recipient opens the file with the Echo App. They must then travel to the exact GPS zone to unlock the decryption key and reveal the memory at the source.
User-Centric Storage
You retain full sovereignty over your archive. Echo is designed so that you manage your own data, ensuring your memories are shared only with those you trust.
File-Level Encryption
Every .echo memory is a self-contained, encrypted vault. Using AES-256 standards, the data is locked at the moment of creation and can only be decrypted by the Echo App at the target coordinates.
Proximity Lock
Physical presence is the ultimate key. Even with the file in hand, the content remains digitally "cloaked" until the recipient's GPS coordinates match the anchor point within a specific radius.
MISSION SCENARIOS
Transform physical space into private digital hunts.
Anniversary Anchors
Plant a voice log where you first met. Send the file via your chat app as a hidden gift that can only be opened when they stand in that exact spot.
Multi-Stage Trails
Build a scavenger hunt by sending a series of .echo files. Each new clue is only revealed when the previous location is reached.
Off-Grid Vantages
Found a secret rooftop or a hidden trail? Anchor a photo of the view and share the signal with your circle so they can follow your path to the exact coordinate.
Location-Locked Jokes
Leave a digital 'ghost' of a funny moment at your favorite hangout. Send it to the group via chat so they encounter the memory next time they visit.
THE EVOLUTION OF ECHO
Strengthening the infrastructure for a secure world.
Phase 01: Offline-First Reliability
Optimization of our local-first storage engine. This ensures that once you receive an .echo file, the hunt and decryption process can be completed without needing an active cellular data connection.
Phase 02: Radar Haptic Feedback
Enhancing the Echo Interface with advanced haptic and directional cues. This makes tracking signals more intuitive as you close the final meters to the memory's physical coordinates.
Phase 03: Augmented Intercepts
Integrating spatial overlays within the app to help you visualize the exact spot where a memory is anchored, making the final discovery moment more immersive.
Phase 04: Protocol Standardization
Scaling the .echo file architecture to remain compatible across all chat apps and future mobile operating systems, ensuring your anchored memories remain accessible and secure.
START YOUR ARCHIVE
Join the hidden layer of the world in three simple steps.
01 | Initialize Terminal
Download the Echo App on your smartphone to create your local-first identity. No central accounts—everything is stored on your device.
Anchor Memory
Visit a location and leave your first encrypted footprint.
Invite Recipient
Send the ghost signal to a friend and let them find the truth.
