It's using the same transport. Basically sendme is like dumbpipe, but adds blake3 verified streaming from the iroh-bytes crate for content-addressed data transport.

I imagined as much, but the website does still not mention encryption.

Which works against it. E2EE is a requirement today.

Thanks for letting us know. We will add a section about encryption.

These tiny tools are basically one week projects to show off the tech, but they try to be useful on it's own as well.
