Go deeper
than Discord.

Open-protocol community chat. Native voice and encryption built into the protocol — no relay servers, no third-party infrastructure. Start in #root.

Enter OceanWhat is this?
LADON

Voice without borders

Spatial audio and encrypted voice over Ophion IRC. Native protocol transport — no relay servers, no third-party infrastructure. Your voice travels the same path as your messages.

SESSION

Stay signed in

Cryptographic session tokens keep you authenticated across reconnects. No password stored. No re-entry.

VEIL

End-to-end, always

P-256 ECDH key exchange and AES-256-GCM encryption for every voice and video session. Forward secrecy built into the protocol — not bolted on.

PROTOCOL

Open IRC

Standard IRCv3. Connect with any client. Ocean is just the surface.

COLLABORATE

Whiteboard

Shared drawing surfaces built into every channel. No extra app.

MESSAGING

Rich messages

Reactions, edits, threads, embeds — over standard IRC extensions.

Ocean app

Everything has a predictable place.

Ocean keeps the familiar server, channel, chat, and member layout, then layers in IRC-native identity, voice, session handoff, media, and moderation tools where people already expect them.

FAQ

Answers before the first login.

Do I need Ocean?

No. Ocean is the polished web client, but the network speaks IRCv3 so native clients can connect too.

Can I stay connected from multiple devices?

Yes. Session reclaim is designed for multiple clients on the same nick without kicking out the others.

Is voice part of IRC?

Voice uses LADON over Ophion so channel voice belongs to the same open network instead of a separate relay stack.

Where should I start?

Open Ocean, sign in, and join #root. The app exposes channels, members, voice, search, and settings in the main workspace.

eshmaki.me

One network.
Many depths.

Start at the surface in #root — the main gathering place. Descend into voice channels, project rooms, and late-night conversations.
