"Falcon is an open source project that aims to restore the balance of privacy on the internet."

We provide a decentralized privacy platform with a suite of tools to enhance your online privacy:

• An anonymous cryptocurrency – send and receive the PART cryptocurrency without revealing the transaction history
• End-to-end encrypted messaging – communicate in a secure and decentralized manner without revealing your IP address
• A private marketplace – buy and sell goods without leaving a trace

This repository is the user interface that works in combination with our falcon-core.
