Let’s get real: Your DMs aren’t yours.

Every message you send is hosted on servers owned by a handful of tech CEOs. Jon Stewart nailed it: “There’s not one communication app not controlled by one of six individuals.”

We’re done letting them own our conversations.

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

“Decentralized messaging is the foundation for a free society.” — @ethereumjoseph 

🚫 No censorship.
🔐 No backdoor surveillance.
🛡️ Owned by you, not a CEO.

XMTP isn’t just a protocol—it’s sovereign communication.

How it works:

💸 Micro-fees paid by apps in USDC are automatically distributed to node operators.
⚡ Msgs are delivered in milliseconds via an offchain broadcast network
✨ Consensus on critical state is maintained using Arbitrum Orbit on @base.
