Incredibly proud of @xmtp's trailblazing production implementation of Messaging Layer Security, ratified last year by the IETF as the new internet standard for secure, private messaging.

Business messaging done right: your keys, your consent.

Smart wallets will onboard the next billion. XIP-44 brings them to XMTP using ERC-1271 signature verification. This means any smart contract that adds the ERC-1271 interface can use the network directly. Voila: trustless business messaging for NFT creators, DeFi protocols, DAOs, etc.

It’s Apple Cash but global, permissionless, and decentralized.

Was so cool to see @paragraph frames just appear in @converseapp without a software update. Composability is magic.

What excites me the most about /open-frames is that each new context inspires new experiences. Feeds -> multiplayer, public Group chat -> multiplayer, private DMs (+ bots) -> single-player, private Congratulations @df @nickm @mg on extending Frames into these new canvases, and more to come.

Proud of the XMTP core dev team’s work on XIP-42. You’ve never had this kind of control over your communications.

What would you build if Frames could slide into XMTP DMs? https://community.xmtp.org/t/xip-36-supporting-frames-in-xmtp/534

What Shane said. Can't wait to see how creators and devs build and maintain real relationships using the interactivity Frames have unlocked.

Great post by our engineering team on one of the more difficult DX tradeoffs we've made in service of privacy. https://xmtp.org/blog/speed-and-privacy

We're hiring a data scientist at @xmtp Labs. Must thrive in a privacy-by-design environment. Experience with homomorphic encryption is a strong plus. My DMs are open: https://getconverse.app/dm/saulmc.eth https://boards.greenhouse.io/xmtp/jobs/4987823004

This weekend, some @xmtp users, team members, and developers got hit by phishing attempts from vanity addresses (such as “0x0000…0000”) meant to look like the Ethereum null (or burn) address. That actual null address is controlled by nobody and can never send messages on XMTP.
