Big day here... 

Ephemera has acquired @converseapp, and as of 9 am EST, we open-sourced it.

Converse is the simplest and fastest app built on XMTP. The Converse team has been building with XMTP since day one, and with the ability to reach over 2m+ identities on XMTP, we are excited to put more resources into building a better future together.

We need to make using crypto as easy as sending a message. We have already started implementing secure groups into Converse and we have so much more work to do so everyone in the world has a secure messaging application that is native to crypto.

Everything starts with trust.

The world needs an open, secure, and decentralized communication platform. One that everyone can trust to build on and use.

That’s why we are open-sourcing the application layer, which is also built on the open & secure XMTP network.

I hadn't heard of XMTP before. If anyone is looking to contribute to an open source project, here is an easy/fun 5 minute issue:
