Company background

yyResearch is a software company focusing on our own product called OpusChat, the next generation of large-scale social communication system for the worldwide community.

OpusChat is a privacy-centric and safe communication system that gives people the choice and control on how they interact with people and manage relationships. It allows users to integrate multiple personas into a single account.

OpusChat’s objective is to protect users from scammers and spammers. This returns the control of the entire communication channel back to the users. Users can decide on who, when and what could contact them.

OpusChat runs on our massively scalable cloud platform designed to efficiently support high transaction rates from millions of users at a very low running cost. We build and optimize everything in house - from server infrastructure to the mobile/desktop clients.
