Jack Dorsey launched the beta version of Bitchat, a peer-to-peer messaging app that operates on Bluetooth mesh networks rather than traditional internet connectivity. This approach allows users to communicate without reliance on centralized servers and emphasizes decentralization and privacy. Bitchat enables devices to form local clusters, facilitating communication even beyond standard range. All messages are encrypted end-to-end and are stored solely on users' devices, set to delete afterwards, aligning with Dorsey's vision of censorship-resistant communication. The beta version has garnered significant interest, reaching its maximum user limit within a short time.
Bitchat operates entirely over Bluetooth mesh networks, promising true decentralization and privacy for its users. Messages are encrypted from end to end and are stored only on devices.
As users move through physical space, their phones form local Bluetooth clusters and pass messages from device to device, allowing them to reach peers beyond standard range.
