The last 15 years the word for privacy became “encryption” The next 15 years the word for privacy is going to be “decentralization”

Building XMTP is becoming more important to the world every day. And we are getting better and better at building XMTP every day. So pumped by all the latest updates to the protocol. Let me know if you have any ideas, questions, or want to help build!

It’s time to do things different. We’ve raised $50M to build the most secure and decentralized messaging protocol in the world with @xmtp. But we’ve wasted too much time on “grown-up” recruiting. It’s not working. Endless debates about job requirements, careers pages, and so much other BS. I called our head of people and said let’s kill it. We’re moving to Proof of Work. Link in replies, no application needed. We’re building a new app Convos on @xmtp - a decentralized, censorship-resistant Signal. The world needs it now more than ever and we couldn’t be more pumped about this. We’re hiring iOS & React Native engineers. No resumes. No job boards. Just one thing: Show us what you’ve built. 💰 $5K in BTC for any referral we hire. Built WhatsApp, iMessage, Signal? Tired of back doors and ads? Then you’re perfect. Drop a link to your work in the replies. Tag the best engineer you know. Or DM me. No mediocrity. No gatekeeping. Just proof.

Every single convo I have with people not in crypto goes like this “…and then people can see how much money I have and what I’m buying? Why? I hate that.” I might die on this hill but the idea that most people want to show off their money, or use that as their social graph, feels wrong.

We are releasing the first step in one of our most fundamental changes to the @xmtp protocol this week... Passkey support. This changes what's possible and allows us to support any network & any identity with a truly global and interoperable secure messaging protocol...

Thanks for HUNDREDS of stories! For International Women’s Day, we wanted to back someone who’s building the future. The women on our team picked their favorite story. We picked @adrienne She’s building companies. She’s launching a media business on Farcaster. And she’s making sure other women have a seat at the table. She’s doing the work. And bringing people with her. We’re sending her $2,500 to keep going. One person at a time. Let’s go.

I love hearing this from @xmtp developers on our Friday team call today. When asked why they want to integrate XMTP, they responded "We want the Best of the Best" Best of the Best is a great guiding light for us.

It’s time for a new network to protect us from spam. XMTP now has network level consent and the ability to add a security deposit to your request box to protect and get value for people and bots that want your attention. This shit is out of control.

We are thinking deeply about how to support and add @worldcoin and Bluesky identities as well. How do people feel about that?
