[Berty](https://berty.tech/) addresses these issues with a distributed communication protocol that takes advantage of the decentralized infrastructure provided by IPFS to build an untraceable messaging system. It’s completely peer-to-peer, open-source, and it can operate over bluetooth, without an internet connection.
