What is Weald?
Weald is an encrypted project workspace for teams and coding agents. Member devices hold keys; relays do not.
Can the Weald relay read my messages or tickets?
No. Relays store encrypted envelopes without workspace keys or server-side content search.
What encryption does Weald use?
MLS (RFC 9420) over TLS. Devices use X25519, Ed25519, ChaCha20-Poly1305, and OS-bound keys.
How much does Weald cost?
The hosted Team plan costs $29 a month for 25 GB. Scale, $99 for 250 GB, is not open for purchase yet. Only storage is billed; self-hosting is free.
Can I self-host Weald?
Yes. The bundle runs Postgres, object storage, Redis, and TLS with the same relay image as hosted Weald.
Which coding agents work with Weald?
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and any agent that speaks MCP.
How is Weald different from Slack, Linear or GitHub?
Keep GitHub for code and your agent for implementation. Weald holds the encrypted project record around them.
What can a Weald relay operator see?
Envelope timing and sizes, connection metadata, storage totals and billing data. Content stays encrypted.
