You can run the protocol locally. It’s all open source. To join the global network as a node operator and be interoperable requires being added to the node registry.

Passkey inboxes make it so that, in theory, any ownable identity can use XMTP. All it needs is keys to sign with. Which kind of identity should XMTP support next?

We don’t just need a new messaging foundation, we need a new messaging economy. Where everyone can be an owner. Where everyone can use and build without fear of getting cut off. XMTP Mainnet: Coming 🔜 Listen to our CTO @nickm break it all down.

Been working on something new… just overhauled the signup flow, it’s rough but it’s so simple, testing it out… whatcha think? a decentralized Signal - passkey messenger - built on @xmtp In < 10 seconds you can get… 🔑 Passkey only login (no phone number or single global identifier required. Connect as many identities as you want & stay private) 🔒 MLS security and encryption (post forward secrecy & post-compromise security. No back door. Signal level security) 🪙 Everyone gets a wallet by default - simple as a passkey (just hold cash, no Education required. Can connect any external wallet) 🪪 Connect any identity or multiple identities - bring Signal level security & messaging to all of your identities (Farcaster, ENS, Lens, Base, we even have Randos (our version of temporary or incognito) to stay protected and private) 👮Network level consent to protect your inbox from spam and scams. 🌐 Decentralized with XMTP to ensure censorship-resistance (more important now than ever)

I work in messaging and honestly have no idea. 50/50 split in the people I talk to

Yes. Core encryption is the same. All in on MLS. Best place to start on integrating into your app is here: https://docs.xmtp.org/inboxes/build-inbox. Goal of the testnet is to validate offchain message replication is working reliably with real operators around the world before we throw user traffic at it.

1. We are expecting most messages on the network to be paid for by the application, not the user. So "this message was sent by this app" is public but there is no connection to which user sent it on the network (client signatures are inside the ciphertext). 2. We do support ERC-1271 and ERC-6492 at the public identity layer. But there is no way to track which messages relate to which identities unless you can decrypt the message 3. The Payer (run by the app) sits between the user and the network and mixes together all messages from the application. Users might choose to have additional layers of disintermediation between themselves and the payer, but we treat that as optional from the protocol perspective.

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.

You won’t like the song the first couple listens. Then it’ll get stuck in your head and you’ll truly learn to hate it.

Not just under consideration, but coming soon. We should have them supported in our SDKs this month. Smart wallets will not be able to talk to accounts using older versions of the XMTP SDK, so will need some time for everyone to get upgraded before they are broadly useful.

Probably too long a convo for a FC thread. Can I share the public draft with you for feedback when it’s ready?

The app typically will do it on behalf of the user, so no one has to pay gas fees themselves or get de-anonymized by the tx.
