A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Is private messaging in Warpcast independent to the protocol or a farcaster feature?

Private messaging based on double/triple ratchet is hard to do without a server that routes messages. You also want to support push notifications, delivery if your phone is offline for awhile etc.

It’s hard to do and retain the privacy properties. My FIP goes into detail on how to provide it in the decentralized context:

Any thoughts on waku?

I’d need to dig into more of the details, but at least from the thread, what was built is impressive. For parity, it would need:
- perfect forward secrecy
- repudiability
- analysis resistance
- out-of-order messaging
- all of these properties in group messaging
