Etherscan launched Blockscan Chat messenger
Blockchain observer Etherscan has launched a messenger tied to cryptocurrency addresses called Blockscan Chat
Etherscan has developed a messenger called Blockscan Chat. The company announced this on its Twitter account. In order to test the solution in beta mode, users must synchronize their cryptocurrencies with the site. At the time of writing, the service supports MetaMask and the module Wallet Connect.
However, the messages themselves will be stored on Blockscan servers and not in the blockchain. The developers of the project say it explicitly when trying to synchronize a wallet with the service. Thus, all transactions are performed offchain, and cryptocurrencies act as a kind of analogue of e-mail for authorization. It remains unknown whether the messenger supports end-to-end encryption.
