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. https://warpcast.com/caz.eth/0x347905

To guide these decisions and our overall approach to spam and consent, Coinbase Wallet, @converseapp, Unstoppable Domains, and Orb have joined with XMTP Labs to form the Inbox Safety Council. Any currently live inbox app is welcome to join the council’s discussions.
