Since day 1, devs have asked us for 1 thing: secure + private group chat. 

Today, we are stoked to announce the production launch of XMTP groups, leveraging MLS to bring the most secure, privacy preserving, soon-to-be decentralized group chat to devs.

🏗️ Build group chat with XMTP!

A big thank you to our core team, led by @nplasterer, and the amazing XMTP developer community for your continuous support & feedback -- we couldn't have achieved this milestone without you. 

And a special shoutout to Cryspen for building OpenMLS and helping us integrate it securely!

You can build a group chat protocol in a day or two. Not that hard.

Building one that respects user privacy is a different story. Congrats to the team on shipping a version of group chat in line with our core values around privacy and security. 

Getting all those checkboxes on the same chart is no small feat.
