The Problem: Legacy Messaging is Broken

Current messaging platforms — despite being polished and widely used — have fundamental flaws:

  • Lack of true privacy: End-to-end encryption is often server-mediated and prone to metadata leakage.

  • Centralized identity: Usernames and accounts are controlled by centralized entities.

  • Data control & censorship: Platforms can delete content or suspend users without recourse.

  • No native payments: Transferring value requires switching to another platform or using separate apps.

  • Fragmented UX: Messaging and payments remain disconnected in user experience.
