Files we can ever read

The lifecycle

Every file follows the same four steps.

1. Chunk

Files split into 16 MiB units — mobile-friendly, parallel-friendly.

2. Encrypt

Each chunk sealed with XChaCha20-Poly1305 keyed off your device vault.

3. Erasure-code

Reed-Solomon (10, 30): any 10 of 30 shards reconstruct the chunk.

4. Distribute

Shards placed across the P2P swarm by consistent hash; lighthouse keeps a backup replica.

Durability math

The smallest overkill plan we could justify.

(k, n) = (10, 30)        # any 10 of 30 shards reconstruct
E      = n / k = 3.0×    # storage expansion
p      = 0.4             # per-host availability

Pr[fewer than k shards in one window] ≈ 3 × 10⁻⁴
Pr[object lost, with repair daemon]   ≈ 10⁻⁸

Anything tighter risks real loss. Anything bigger pays for invisible nines.

What we don't do

The privacy floor, in plain English.

No scanning

We literally can't — your files are ciphertext before they leave your device.

No AI training

There's nothing for us to train on. The keys are yours.

No ads, no tracking

No analytics scripts. No "anonymous" telemetry. None.
