What is Keychat?

  • Senders send messages stamped with Bitcoin ecash to Nostr relays. The Nostr relays collect the Bitcoin ecash, then deliver messages to receivers.
  • Unlike the centralized postal system, Keychat can use multiple Bitcoin ecash issuers and Nostr relays, each maintained by distinct operators.
  • Keychat uses Signal protocol to ensure message encryption security and meta-data privacy.
  • The content of the letter can be exposed easily by opening the envelope. Keychat messages are end-to-end encrypted via Signal protocol, with a unique encryption key generated for each message. Only the sender and receiver can decrypt the message.
  • The addresses of both parties on the envelope can be tracked. In theory, this problem is solved if they change addresses daily. So Keychat reuses Signal protocol to update sending and receiving addresses for nearly every message.
  • No Registration Required As a chat client based on the Nostr protocol, we only require the creation of a Nostr account to log in; there is no need to register through a phone number, email, or any other means. You must safeguard your nsec key, as it allows you to control your own data. Additionally, your Nostr account is compatible with other Nostr clients.
