# Open-Sourcing AVM Email: Fully Decentralized, Encrypted Communications & Defi

### Value Proposition

- Already open-sourced and repository submitted to Electric Capital with MIT License
- 7 PUYA smart contracts for the first decentralized, non-ephemeral, bidirectional, encrypted communications and staking pool service live since October 2025
- PUYA smart contract pipeline for platform usage, including on-chain registry, staking pool factory, buy-back-and-burn tokenomics or commission-system on email / server purchases.
- One of the first on-chain implementations at scale of any encryption utility on AVM

### What is AVM Email?

AVM Email is a fully decentralized, on-chain, encrypted communication system — our encryption implementation was guided from previous CTO. Although there has been a variation of attempts at on-chain encryption. We are the only encrypted communications dApp on Algorand that checks all of the below:

- Bidirectional Encryption, encrypt and decrypt sent and received messages between you and another individual on-chain.
- Email servers provide buyback & burn token functionality, or fallback to a commission based system at user discretion
- Has a designated workflow for encryption key derivation and does not require arbitrary transactions to be signed
- Create staking pools for your owned servers
- Live for the past 6 months
- Smart contract pipeline
- Community of 100+
- DeFi integrations
- Fully open-sourced

In combination with our on-chain registry, non-ephemeral keys are core to our usecase as communications can be easily retrieved and read by both intended parties. There is no sharing of data or databases storing unencrypted content — only the senders and receivers in any conversation can decrypt communications.

Users can earn commissions on referrals to their email servers eg; @algolinks.avm @asastats.avm @ethereum.avm, etc. when users create email names. Alternatively, server owners can forego these commissions and opt into triggering buyback & burn events for any token of their choice instead; these settings are configurable at any time.

Server owners can create staking pools through their servers to incentive users to purchase email names under their server, and of course any email owner can communicate with another email owner of their choice.
