xmtp

Since we began, our mission has never changed: 
Build the world's largest & most secure, decentralized messaging network.

Today, with support from @coinbasewallet, @circle, @ensdomains, @alchemyplatform, @a16zcrypto, @masknetwork & @factionvc we're launching the XMTP testnet.

1/7

Launching testnet is a huge milestone for XMTP. This is real progress toward our long-term goal of building a truly decentralized messaging protocol and network that has Signal-level security and crypto financial rails built-in.

This is awesome - re USDC as the operative currency, what made you chose that vs a native XMTP token? Mostly regulatory environment around new tokens?

When talking to app developers the biggest question has always been "how much is this going to cost?". The answer can't be "it depends on the market price of some token". Who wants that? USDC == predictable pricing for devs.
