“How can Keychat Wallet receive sats via LN but there is nothing about managing channels and liquidity?” 👇 View quoted note →

Keychat is the only project we’re building — and we’re committed to continuously improving it. View quoted note →

This is the core design philosophy behind Keychat. View quoted note →

We made a five-minute overview video of Keychat to help viewers understand its overall design.

Keychat user data (seed phrase, ID, contacts, chat history, wallet, etc.) can be downloaded from App Settings and imported into Keychat on other devices. All of this data only stays on your device and isn’t uploaded to any relay servers. Keychat uses the relay only to forward encrypted messages and the MLS key package (public-key data). Note that the same Chat ID cannot be used on two devices at once, since Signal and MLS keep generating new encryption keys, so the state keeps updating. Right now, if you run Keychat on your phone and your computer at the same time, you’ll have two different Chat IDs on the devices. Keychat hasn’t implemented cross-device sync for a single Chat ID yet.

It’s completely possible to use Keychat even without any ecash sats. View quoted note →

Based on feedback from many users, we’ve also realized that having only a Cashu ecash wallet in Keychat isn’t enough. We’re exploring a way to connect users’ existing Lightning wallets to Keychat — with Keychat serving purely as the front-end UI, while the wallet itself continues to run on the user’s own server or desktop. (Screenshot from the Alby extension) We’re also exploring Ark. View quoted note →

In the physical world, we all understand that an **ID** and an **address** are two different things. But in the digital world, we seem to have blurred the line between the two — and that’s the root of many metadata privacy problems. View quoted note →

We’re always glad to explain how Keychat is designed. You don’t need to be a programmer to grasp its core ideas — anyone can verify for themselves whether the design makes sense, just as they can understand the fundamentals of Bitcoin.
