Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter and CEO of Block, has announced Bitchat, a new decentralized messaging app that utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy instead of blockchain.
What is Bitchat?
Bitchat is a messaging app announced by Jack Dorsey via social media that focuses on decentralized communication and bypasses traditional internet infrastructure.
Technology and Decentralization Approach
The app uses Bluetooth Low Energy for communication, avoiding integration with blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Dorsey spent the weekend exploring Bluetooth networks, relay systems, and message encryption methods.
Impact on Crypto Market
At the same time, the launch of Bitchat has not impacted the cryptocurrency market, as the app does not involve cryptocurrency transactions. Dorsey continues to explore decentralized technologies without the need for blockchain systems.
Bitchat raises questions about the future of decentralized communication, emphasizing technology free from tokens and blockchain, which could significantly influence communication standards.
