NIGHTBOX Shararam

01Pick your character

Your visual persona — a Smesharik from Шарарам, the friendly Russian animation universe. Selecting one mints a fresh in-browser ed25519 keypair bound to that character for this session.

02Pick a diplomatic room

Choose where you'd like to meet. Themed rooms scattered across the bilateral map — historical, geographical, symbolic. Your room appears next to your name in the online roster so peers know where to find you. Lobby is the catch-all for general traffic.

03Two doors. Two ecosystems.

The cryptographic duck moat 🦆 lets through US accounts (Google) and RF accounts (Yandex) — the two sovereign principals NIGHTBOX exists to serve. Third-country accounts: the diplomatic room is closed, but open infrastructure for all is at /.well-known/.

No third-party trackers. No ad pixels. We store: provider, ID, email, display name, avatar URL — that's it. HMAC-signed cookie, 30-day TTL, HttpOnly. Logout clears it.

04Your identity card

An ed25519 keypair was generated in your browser (or a SHA-256 random-seed fallback on older browsers). Your public-key fingerprint is encoded as 6 emojis. Share them with a friend — they enter the same six to verify they are talking to you and not a third party.

05Verify a friend

Ask your friend for their 6-emoji fingerprint (verbally, via Signal, Telegram, whatever). Tap their emojis from the picker below. When all six are entered, we check whether they match an expected peer in this browser's local roster.

Diplomats present

Other authenticated visitors currently in /play. Click any peer to initiate an encrypted P2P session — your browsers negotiate a WebRTC DataChannel, derive an AES-256-GCM session key via X25519 ECDH, and chat end-to-end encrypted. NIGHTBOX servers only see the initial handshake — messages route browser-to-browser direct.
