Every channel. One signal.
Nerve is one API for SMS, WhatsApp, email, and push — with intelligent routing, provider failover, and built-in compliance across 190+ countries. You send. We deliver.







A message that doesn't arrive is a system that doesn't exist. Delivery is not a feature. It's the contract.
Cross-border messaging is held together with duct tape
API Fragmentation
Termii for Lagos. Twilio for Texas. SendGrid, FCM, APNs. Every provider is another API to learn, another outage to page you at 3 a.m., another deprecation notice in your inbox.
Hyperscale Bottlenecks
Flash sales, breaking news, mass OTP storms. Standard request/response architectures buckle exactly when your traffic — and your revenue — peaks.
The Regulatory Labyrinth
One misrouted SMS to a do-not-disturb number is a fine. One EU record on a US server is a violation. Compliance isn't documentation — it has to run in the hot path.
That's why we built Nerve — the signal layer for the internet
Nerve ingests at hyperscale, routes on live cost and deliverability data, fails over across providers automatically, and clears every message against local regulation — before it leaves the building. One API. Every channel. Delivered.
Exactly-once, or not at all
Idempotency keys with configurable TTL mean a network retry never double-charges a customer or double-sends an OTP. Send with confidence at any scale.
Routing that does the math
Live cost arbitrage per destination prefix. WhatsApp first; if unread in 60 seconds, SMS fallback — automatically. You set intent. Nerve picks the wire.
Compliance in the hot path
Dynamic DND registry checks before dispatch. PII replaced with format-preserving tokens. EU data pinned to EU soil. Auditable by design.
From your POST request to their pocket in under 500ms
Ingest
Edge gateways in Rust acknowledge in <50ms. Your request is durable before we return 202.

Built for people who read changelogs
Strictly-typed SDKs in six languages. Protobuf or JSON. A local CLI with environment detection, secret management, and webhook forwarding. An MCP endpoint so your AI coding agent can read schemas, write integration code, and run sandbox tests — safely.
Read the Docsimport { Nerve } from "@nervehq/sdk"; const nerve = new Nerve({ apiKey: process.env.NERVE_API_KEY }); await nerve.events.trigger( { name: "otp.requested", to: { subscriberId: "user_8x2", phone: "+2348011223344" }, payload: { code: "402913" }, }, { idempotencyKey: "ord_29441" }, ); // → 202 Accepted · { eventId, status: "QUEUED" }
Your questions, answered
Twilio is one provider. Nerve orchestrates many — Twilio, Sinch, Termii, Infobip, Africa's Talking, SendGrid and more — with automatic failover, live cost arbitrage, and one normalized webhook schema. When a provider degrades, your messages don't.
Circuit breakers detect elevated error rates and reroute to the next healthy provider in your chain — automatically, in-region, without dropped messages. You'll see the failover in your console; your users won't see anything but the message.
Ingestion is an event-driven architecture: stateless Rust edge gateways buffer directly into NATS JetStream. We acknowledge in under 50ms at p99 and shape egress to each provider's real limits so nothing is dropped downstream.
Pre-flight checks against registries like Nigeria's NCC DND and India's TRAI run before dispatch. Blocked numbers are automatically rerouted to compliant transactional channels. GDPR and POPIA controls — residency, consent, erasure — are tenant-level configuration, not custom builds.
Where you tell it to. Data residency is configured per tenant: EU user data never leaves EU infrastructure. Internally, PII is replaced with format-preserving tokens, so raw phone numbers and emails never appear in logs or analytics.
It is one flat plan: ₦50,000 a month for 500,000 notifications and 100 requests a second, billed in NGN. You bring your own provider credentials, so carrier costs are billed by your provider at cost — we add nothing to them. Start free on 1,000 notifications a month.
Signal, delivered.
Your first 1,000 notifications are on us. Integrate in an afternoon.
