​​ What are Utopia's main competitors?

Strictly speaking, the Utopia project has no direct competitors - our platform is the first one to offer a comprehensive solution to the problem of online privacy protection, and is not limited to one of the aspects of this problem.

At the same time, today there are many quite popular applications created to ensure confidential communication. First of all, of course, we are talking about messengers that are marketed as secure, like Telegram, Signal or Briar.

There are two problems with such messengers. First, most popular messengers, including Telegram and Signal, are centralized. That is, regardless of the reliability of the encryption, users can not be sure of the full protection of the correspondence. Secondly, even decentralized messengers solve only the problem of ensuring the exchange of messages. Secure file sharing platforms and secure email services have a similar problem - they are overly specialized.

The only option other than Utopia for a comprehensive solution to the privacy problem is VPN services. However, it would be wrong to consider Utopia as a VPN competitor - they complement each other, and do not try to replace each other. So the best security solution to date is the combined use of a VPN and the Utopia platform.
