# Wonek

> Wonek (by Arte Soft EOOD, UIC 202787570, Sofia, Bulgaria) is an end-to-end encrypted peer-to-peer (P2P) communication and collaboration platform currently in pre-release / early-access preparation for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Wonek combines a native Rust MLS (RFC 9420) cryptographic core, mandatory TLS 1.3 over QUIC / WebTransport, and a proprietary port-prediction NAT traversal algorithm that establishes direct device-to-device P2P links at a high success rate even behind mobile 4G/5G Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT)—with automatic latency-measured encrypted relay fallback and ciphertext-only offline message queuing.
