On their GH they state, "Zax is a NaCL-based Cryptographic Relay, easily accessed via the Glow library ('glow' is a repo under 'vault12' on GH). Zax relay nodes are asynchronous 'dead drops' for mobile communications. Relays are intended to be multiplied for reliability and form a distributed network. Individual devices send messages to a mutually deterministic subset of relays and check the same for response traffic."

Secret Chats are one of the service’s additional security features; it allows messages to be sent with client-to-client encryption. This setup means that, unlike regular messages, these secret messages can only be accessed from the device’s that initiated and accepted the chat. Additionally, Telegram notes that secret chats leave no trace on the company’s services and offer a self-destruct timer.
