Abstract

Big Tech built billion-dollar empires on user data. They got nothing.

In this paper, we present Quick Sync (QS). a privacy-first infrastructure designed to enable a new class of decentralized applications. At its core is the QS Framework: a composable, developer-friendly foundation for building ephemeral, encrypted, and user-owned digital experiences.

QS Framework enables both technical and non-technical builders to deploy real-time, zero-knowledge (ZK) encrypted tools, without sacrificing usability or speed.

To demonstrate the power of this infrastructure, the QS team is developing flagship applications on top of it such as:

• QS Share: provides a flexible, decentralized platform for file sharing and communication, combining ephemeral peer-to-peer connections with advanced Zero Knowledge (ZK) encryption to ensure end-to-end privacy and user anonymity. Users can share files, text, and participate in private chats seamlessly. The decentralized design avoids centralized storage, mitigating risks of censorship and unauthorized access. Communication is facilitated through wallet-based sessions or an optional no-wallet mode, supported by decentralized servers for enhanced accessibility.

• StageX: A live, anonymous Q&A layer built for community spaces, panels, and AMAs, transforming passive listeners into active voices.

These tools represent just the beginning. The QS Framework is fully open — welcoming developers, startups, and communities to build their own privacy-focused tools and workflows to build impact and earn revenue.

With decentralized infrastructure, ephemeral storage, and built-in monetization paths, QS is laying the foundation for the Decentralized Workspaces.
