Keychat has integrated a cashu wallet to enable the functionality of using Bitcoin ecash as message estamp. Users can send and receive ecash sats. They can also mint ecash sats from Lightning Network sats and melt ecash sats back into Lightning Network sats. image

There will be market competition among relays, resulting in the market price of estamps.
Minting and Melting seems misleading or at least confusing to a new user imo. The two problems I see with it. 1. The server is minting or melting at your request. The mint and melt buttons imply you have control over what the server does 2. Although ecash is sats-denominated, minting implies a change in supply, makes it seem like it is something other than sats Deposits and withdrawal buttons would be more succinct I think... because most of the time it is a server the user does not own that is minting esats rather than the user who clicks the mint button. Depositing to that server is what the user is doing

The Cashu protocol spec uses 'mint' and 'melt'. This may be a metaphor for minting coins from bullion and melting coins back into bullion. 'Mint' does not imply a change in supply, think about minting coins.

I personally think that the terms "deposits" and "withdrawals" imply that the sats have not changed, when in fact they have.

From the perspective of users not familiar with the ecash minting principles, "deposits" and "withdrawals" are better terms. We are considering it. Thank you.
