Voidcom voice runs on the same MLS protocol family as Discord DAVE (RFC 9420), but on a post-quantum hybrid ciphersuite (ML-KEM-768 + X25519). DAVE itself uses a classical P-256 ciphersuite. Voice rooms above 99 participants are a separate Stage tier that is server-mediated, not E2E (the same posture Discord takes for Stage channels). More details.
Why choose Voidcom?
E2E where it counts
DMs and voice are end-to-end encrypted. Voice runs on MLS 1.0 (RFC 9420), the same protocol family as Discord DAVE, on a post-quantum hybrid ciphersuite. Server channels are protected by transport encryption.
Native performance
No Electron. True desktop app: lower memory, lower latency and faster startup than browser-based alternatives.
Built for gaming
5 ms voice frames on the Low Latency preset for competitive gaming. Video and screen sharing in alpha with hardware-accelerated encoding.
Free where it matters
Voice, chat, encryption and moderation are free. Abyss, the optional paid tier, covers the bandwidth-heavy extras: more storage, bigger files and HD video.
