The Challenge

In a region where social platforms face government monitoring and shutdown, Shadhin.io needed robust protection against censorship, surveillance, and interference while remaining accessible to non-technical users and functioning on common mobile devices.

Our Approach

Defensive Architecture

We implemented content distribution across decentralized nodes to prevent single points of failure or censorship.

Privacy-Preserving Design

We created anonymity features with plausible deniability for activists and journalists at risk.

Lightweight Client

We optimized performance for low-end Android devices prevalent in target regions while maintaining security.

Our Solution

We engineered a sophisticated yet accessible platform featuring distributed content storage with fallback mechanisms, end-to-end encrypted messaging with forward secrecy, client-side content rendering to minimize server footprint, event coordination tools with cryptographic attendance verification, and traffic obfuscation techniques to bypass monitoring systems.

The Results

Attracted 10,000+ active users within the first week of launch

Maintained 100% platform availability during three attempted shutdowns

Facilitated coordination of 15+ peaceful demonstrations with 5,000+ participants

Sustained 65% daily active user retention despite challenging conditions

Recognized by international press freedom organizations for technical innovation

Enabled secure information sharing during critical civic actions with zero data breaches

AIVEX delivered a powerful, censorship-resistant social platform that gained over 10K users within the first week. Their ability to build real-time communication tools and handle high traffic loads was crucial to our success.
