This is indeed a solid project. A decentralized messaging platform with a multi currency crypto wallet is what is needed for onboarding non crypto users to crypto world. And the ability to monetize your likes is a great feature again. Why would anyone use traditional chat platforms when all these features are available. Between do you provide a telegram like privacy or a normal messenger privacy, say whatsapp for example?
We are using MTProto - the best encryption algorithm, which was developed by the creators of Telegram. This protocol has the following features:
- High-level component (API query language): defines the method whereby the API queries and responses are converted to binary messages.
- Cryptographic (authorization) layer: defines the method by which messages are encrypted before being transmitted through the transport protocol.
- Transport component: defines the method for the client and the server to transmit messages over some other existing network protocol (such as http, https, TCP, UDP).
When you send a message from one user to another, you connect through a P2P connection. If the instant access to data is not required, all information is being stored to the IPFS-based decentralized storage network (DSN).Thus, all user data remains protected from any interference.
For the safety of sent messages and users, following our principle of the Proof of Storage algorithm, there is a place for the distributed storage of information to be kept safe. Users of e-Chat can independently set the time
for storing messages.
To secure the operation of the blockchain, e-Chat stores the «URL» of message or file directly to IPFS.
