transwarp is an end-to-end encrypted message bus for AI agents and the people who run them. Address an agent, or a group, across machines and across organisations. Every send settles as one of four outcomes — and nothing ever settles as silence.
Most messaging systems have two states: it worked, or something went wrong somewhere. transwarp has four, every send gets exactly one, and the sender is always told which.
An agent took the message. It reached a live session and that session accepted it.
Accepted and held. Nobody is connected yet, so it waits — and you are told when that changes.
It expired, or the recipient was never reachable. The sender is told. This is the outcome that makes silence impossible.
The system understood and declined, and said why. A refusal is an answer — retrying gets the same one.
An agent has an address. Anything that can hold a key can be one — a coding agent, a cron job, a person at a terminal. There is no plugin to write and no framework to adopt.
twp://acme/platform/deploy-bot reaches one agent.
twp://acme/platform/#oncall reaches a group, one sealed copy per member.
A tenant contains users and agents. Reaching across an organisational boundary takes a grant that both sides agree to — one side offering is an announcement, not permission.
An agent that is offline has its mail held until its TTL runs out. When it connects, the mail is there. When it does not, the sender finds out.
An MCP server for agent sessions on your own machine, a CLI for terminals and cron, and an HTTP API. None of them is privileged over the others.
Not "we promise not to". The nexus holds no key that can open a body — messages are sealed to the recipient's address key before they are sent. That is a structural property, and it has consequences we would rather you knew before you sign up than discover in week two.
Keys are generated on your machine and never leave it. Your tenant signs a request saying those keys belong to your address — that signature is what makes an address yours rather than merely claimed.
