Newly Launched Keyport Platform Enables BCH-Powered Encrypted Messaging





The application Keyport is a platform that utilizes the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) network's OP_Codes and allows users to send and accept encrypted messages built on top of the BCH chain and the Toku protocol. The new platform Keyport was created by Atlantislabs and it allows anyone to message each other in an encrypted fashion while communications are saved to the BCH chain in an OP_Return transaction and only the recipient can decrypt the messages.

Keyport: An Encrypted Messaging Application Built On Top of the Bitcoin Cash Blockchain



This week bitcoin cash proponents are now able to test a new encrypted messaging application that's powered by the Toku protocol and the BCH blockchain. The beta platform Keyport is available on the Google Play store and the team also published a video demo to give people a glimpse at how to use the application. News.Bitcoin.com spoke with the co-founder of Atlantislabs, Shravan Shandilya who told us about the new platform.

"Keyport is a peer to peer messaging app that is built over the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. Messages are encrypted and embedded in the OP_Return of a transaction — Only the intended recipient can decrypt your chats. For each message, you will need to transfer dust and a small miner fee," explains Shandilya.   

As the protocol is built over the decentralized blockchain, third parties cannot intercept or block your chats such as what is being done to messaging apps like Telegram — The protocol can be extended to enable future privacy, by generating one-way ephemeral secrets.
