Wahay is an application that allows you to easily host and participate in conference calls, without the need for any centralized servers or services. We are building a voice call application that is meant to be as easy-to-use as possible, while still providing extremely high security and privacy out of the box.

In order to do this, we use Tor Onion Services in order to communicate between the end-points, and we use the Mumble protocol for the actual voice communication. We are doing extensive user testing in order to ensure that the usability of the application is as good as possible.
