For Ark users, as long as they refresh their newly received Ark BTC and continue to refresh once a month thereafter, they are almost entirely free from counterparty risk. The downside is that each refresh requires waiting for at least one Bitcoin block confirmation. For native Lightning Network users, the BTC they receive over LN is almost immediately free from counterparty risk. The downside is that they must open and manage their own Lightning channels and maintain sufficient inbound capacity. This is a cost trade-off between opening and managing Lightning channels and waiting for a refresh, followed by monthly refreshes. View quoted note →

We believe Ecash sats are more suitable than Lightning Network sats as postage stamps for messages, since Ecash sats are more of a bearer asset. View quoted note →

Keychat uses Cashu ecash sats as postage stamps for messages. View quoted note →

Turns out Primal works in the desktop version of Keychat — you can log in with your Keychat ID and zap notes with Keychat Wallet.

Web App + Public Key login + Bitcoin payment = Keychat Mini App It can be either centralized or decentralized. View quoted note →

If you find a Mini App you love, just share it with your chat friends — they can open the link right in the chat and start using it instantly.

We want Keychat to feel unified, not like a collection of features. View quoted note →

👍 Logging into Nostr Journal with Keychat ID in the Keychat Browser is super smooth. View quoted note →

Keychat’s user experience is designed to feel intuitive, enabling users to immediately understand and take hold of it—just as one would see a hammer, pick it up by the handle, and start using the head to drive a nail. “Me” serves as the handle, while Chat and Browser form the hammerhead.

ID(Public Key) + Wallet (Bitcoin) = Me You could say that Keychat is essentially built around two core components — the Public Key and Bitcoin. View quoted note →

Maybe Me should be placed in the center tab to better emphasize its central role. View quoted note →

In most chat apps, the rightmost tab is usually Settings, which is not a core feature. But in Keychat, the rightmost tab is Me, and it is the core. Chat and Browser, in contrast, are merely use cases and extensions of Me.

Similarly, on the desktop version of Keychat, you can also use multiple Nostr web clients simultaneously. View quoted note →

Theoretically, Keychat has currently achieved only 50% of the goal for the ID and Wallet application scenarios, which involves using them within Keychat's internal Chat and Browser (Mini App). The other 50% of the potential goal is to apply Keychat ID and Keychat Wallet to native apps outside of Keychat on the device. This would allow other native apps on the device to use Keychat ID for login and Keychat Wallet for paying Bitcoin Lightning invoices. (We have only made an initial attempt at implementing the function of native apps calling Keychat Wallet for payments, and it is still unstable. A better solution may be needed. You can view this in the settings at the top right corner of the Wallet page.) View quoted note →

Is Keychat a Nostr app — or isn’t it?🤔 View quoted note →

The current Keychat Wallet is a Bitcoin Ecash (Cashu) wallet that offers excellent privacy. However, it’s a custodial solution — the Cashu mint ultimately controls the sats. As such, users shouldn’t store too many sats in it. We’re currently exploring Bitcoin Layer 2 Ark and waiting for it to mature. In the future, Keychat Wallet may integrate an Ark wallet and intelligently choose between Ecash sats and Ark sats depending on the context.
