Come build the most secure and private messaging network in the world—owned by the people who build it and use it.

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.

There've been some incredible ideas these last few days from the FC community on how XMTP & inbox apps can reduce spam on the network while remaining censorship-resistant and credibly neutral

This staked sender model is one of the paths that we've been thinking most deeply about.
