<p>All known P2P networks are likely to be vulnerable to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybil_attack">Sybil attack</a>, because each node is discoverable, and the network operates as a whole. Known measures to reduce the probability of the Sybil attack either require a centralized component or expensive <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work">proof of work</a>. The proposed design, on the opposite, has no server discoverability - servers are not connected, not known to each other and to all clients. The SimpleX network is fragmented and operates as multiple isolated connections. It makes network-wide attacks on SimpleX network impossible - even if some servers are compromised, other parts of the network can operate normally, and affected clients can switch to using other servers without losing contacts or messages.</p>
