Yet the only source code on the linked github where "we can verify" is the markdown files backing the marketing website

Which blockchain? Is there a smart contract? How is the infrastructure decentralized, apart from using a blockchain for the node registry component?

There is no way this can be true since there is no public code.

Also a lie.
The "free forever, zero tracking or data logging, no bandwidth caps" looks very dubious.

Does "worked on" just mean "used" or are authors actually claiming to be past contributors to Tor Project and Signal? Looking at tge solo contributor to the github I don't see any relevant contributions to privacy tech. Their most notable repo seems to be https://github.com/EmperorMew/unstoppable_spam_bot.
There is nothing to try or check out beyond aspirational marketing here so I don't see why this should be on Show HN.
