Messaging apps are ubiquitous – more than 3.6 miliarde de oameni worldwide use them, with the average person sending up to 72 mesaje every 24 hours. Every day WhatsApp alone channels over 100 miliarde messages, while WeChat transmits 205 milioane de euro video messages.
With this popularity has come a darker side: that of hacked personal data, cybertheft, and government încălcări ale vieții private. The way messaging apps are designed, work, and are managed exposes them by default to many risks:
- Most messaging apps require the user to input date personale sensibile, including name, phone number, and date of birth.
- Many apps use your personal data for their own purposes. Facebook is known to share the data of Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp users with advertisers..
- Global surveillance operations of citizens with WhatsApp accounts have been undertaken by governments via the use of spyware.
A recent series of high-profile events have highlighted the size and frequency of the problem:
- Telegram considered the safer option to WhatsApp, suffered a massive data leak in August 2020 that exposed the personal data of peste 500 de milioane de utilizatori.
Furthermore, newer messaging platforms are not addressing the problem effectively. Signal, considered to be a alternativă superioară to both WhatsApp and Telegram, still uses arhitectură bazată pe cloud and allows messages to non-users which are necriptat.
A real and viable solution may instead be found in the power of Blockchain technology. A team of Lithuanian communication technology experts has recently developed a solution that specifically eliminates all the problems of global messaging platforms. This solution is called Secretum.
Secretum is the world’s first and only decentralized, encrypted messaging app, built on the suntrap Blockchain. It offers users a safe, hassle-free, and direct messaging platform, revolving around major technological advantages:
- No servers, no moderators, and complete end-to-end encryption for all messages between users.
- No message data or file storage in a centralized location or on the cloud – only on trusted and independently verified nodes in the Secretum network.
- Users can sign up exclusively with their crypto wallet addresses. No need to share names, birthdates, or any other sensitive data – in other words, total anonymity.
In addition to these advantages as a messaging app, Secretum allows users to trade P2P fungible and non-fungible crypto assets in a cost-effective way, bypassing existing exchanges.
Solana considered the fastest Blockchain in the world, allows Secretum to leverage low gas fees and high block speeds, joining a successful crypto ecosystem with 400+ projects worldwide.
The result is an app that drastically changes the way people communicate via instant messaging, making it safer, more reliable, and more user-friendly than ever before.
Secretum has the potential to grow into a globally known, renowned, and used platform – achieving the ubiquity of WhatsApp or Telegram, only without any of their major weaknesses.
