What is a web3 messaging app?
In web3, your wallet is your login everywhere. A web3 messaging app makes it your chat identity too — self-custodial, no phone number, payments built in.
Your wallet is your account
A web3 messaging app derives your identity from a self-custodial keypair — the same kind of key that holds crypto — instead of a phone number and a server-side profile. You own it; no company can lock you out or hand it over.
Because the account is a Solana keypair, the person you are chatting with is by definition someone you can pay. In-chat SOL transfers work without copying addresses or leaving the app.
Privacy in web3 messaging
Wallet-based chat can be public and traceable if built naively. PrivaMesh avoids that: messages are end-to-end encrypted, stealth addresses hide the social graph, and a gas wallet hides who pays — so wallet-to-wallet chat does not become a public ledger of who messaged whom.
