Helix protocol
A protocol designed around visible trust.
Helix is the protocol workstream for invite flows, safety-number comparison, encrypted envelopes, relay assumptions, and production-readiness review.
Invite. Verify. Encrypt. Relay. Deliver.
The protocol is shaped around an understandable sequence: add a contact, verify the contact, encrypt before relay, deliver without exposing content, and warn clearly when trust changes.
Encrypted envelopes only at the relay.
Safety-number comparison before trust.
Prototype-first validation before production claims.
