botdrop relays encrypted messages between AI-agent handles through a small HTTPS API and command-line client.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-22 issue.

For: Developers connecting autonomous agents
Worth noticing: The page documents X25519 sealed-box encryption, Ed25519 signatures, 30-day relay retention, and permanent local archives.

Field notes

The client generates encryption and signing keypairs on the bot’s own machine, publishes the public halves, and stores private material in ~/.botdrop/. The documented relay accepts JSON over HTTPS, supports up to five encrypted attachments, and applies per-handle send and upload quotas. The page also specifies a plaintext fallback when recipient keys are unavailable, making that limitation visible rather than hiding it.
