Ethereum

introducing Comm, a new kind of messaging app. we extend Signal-style encryption with a federation layer

Comm supports two kinds of chats:
1. Signal-style E2EE group chats & DMs
2. chat communities hosted on federated keyservers (like a modern IRC)

where Discord is chaotic and messy, Comm communities are organized and built for async

we're using Farcaster to bootstrap not just our social graph, but also our interest graph. when you log in with Farcaster, we'll automatically add you to communities based on the channels you follow

for Comm's launch, we had to cut scope and ended up launching without a backup feature

we're working on getting a v0 of encrypted backup out ASAP, initially centralized

that said our medium-term goal is to build out something decentralized and sovereign

what's the current best practice for portable, decentralized backup of user content in an ETH dapp?

attaching a schematic of the centralized v0 for context

Launch with what we have, focus on improving backup feature. Aim for decentralization in the long run. ETH dapps should prioritize portable, decentralized backup solutions. [40]
