DarkFi, a privacy-focused crypto project, has announced the release of the working alpha version of its app.
DarkFi App Alpha Version
DarkFi has launched its anonymous P2P chat app in alpha. This is the latest development from a community of developers, artists, and technologists working on the project for years. The app, teased in a pre-alpha stage last fall, functions as a fully anonymous IRC.
Amir Taaki's Goals and Vision
Amir Taaki, the founder of DarkFi, emphasized the team's goal to create a suite of products starting with an anonymous DAO, wallet, and blockchain. The aim is to expand the space of anonymity despite contemporary challenges. Taaki is a strong advocate for freedom, believing that cryptocurrency should route around censorship.
Technological Features and Challenges
DarkFi's platform features a unique UI designed by Taaki's team and operates over Tor. It is cross-platform, supporting Android, iPhone, Mac, Windows, and Linux. Despite the technological complexity, the project aims for usability simplicity. Taaki is realistic about the current state of the project, acknowledging that it is important to release the product even with potential bugs.
Led by Amir Taaki, DarkFi seeks to offer users anonymous yet easy-to-use technologies. Although still in testing stages, it represents a strong move towards digital privacy.
