Rated 💯 by multiple networks. Fluent in /unglish. Unbothered by /whatday of the week it is.

@depatchedmode I obviously have a lot of questions for you that I haven’t had a chance to connect with you on yet, but a nagging one is why XMTP for chat/email hasn’t taken off. That feels like a low risk, high value opportunity for global mainstream blockchain adoption.

I’m gonna tag @boris or @boscolo.eth in to field this one.

Because on-chain doesn’t make sense for messaging. It also doesn’t improve onboarding — you still have to bring someone into an on chain app to use XMTP. 

It’s either high value comms — competition is acutely secure like Signal. 

Or it’s low value, where protocol overhead doesn’t make sense.
