What is OpenChat (CHAT)?
OpenChat (CHAT) is a fully decentralized chat application built on the Internet Computer blockchain. It functions similarly to traditional messaging platforms, offering direct messages, private groups, public groups, and communities that resemble Discord or Slack workspaces. The application is designed as a responsive Progressive Web Application (PWA), adapting to various screen sizes and integrating features like push notifications. A core aspect of OpenChat is its open-source nature, operating through a collection of canister smart contracts. Each user, group, and community has its own canister, which stores chat data, manages group memberships, and acts as a wallet for token management, contributing to the platform's scalability to potentially hundreds of millions of users. All data on OpenChat is stored entirely on-chain. OpenChat is governed as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), a key distinction from centralized applications. The platform launched as a DAO in March 2023. The project's native utility token is CHAT. This token allows holders to participate in OpenChat's governance by staking it as "neurons" to vote on SNS proposals, earning voting rewards that increase with the staking duration. CHAT can also be used to pay for premium features, such as "Diamond membership," and to reward contributions to the platform's development and growth. OpenChat integrates Web3 wallet capabilities, enabling users to send and receive various tokens, including ICP, ckBTC, ckETH, and soon ckUSDT, directly within chat messages. This feature aims to streamline transactions and integrate them into everyday communication. The founding team includes Matt Grogan, Hamish Peebles, and Julian Jelfs. They previously worked together and were encouraged by Dominic Williams of DFINITY to develop applications on the Internet Computer. OpenChat aims to establish a decentralized social economy network where users can engage in the digital economy with enhanced privacy and security. The platform also supports third-party developers in building their own decentralized applications using the OpenChat protocol. Learn more

OpenChat (CHAT) FAQ
OpenChat is a fully decentralized chat application built entirely on the Internet Computer blockchain. It offers direct messages, private and public groups, and communities, functioning similarly to traditional messaging apps. Its primary distinction lies in providing enhanced privacy, security, and censorship resistance, which are inherent benefits of its decentralized nature and full on-chain operation.
The CHAT token serves multiple essential purposes. It enables governance, allowing holders to stake tokens as 'neurons' to vote on proposals and earn voting rewards. It can be used to pay for premium features and Diamond membership within the application. CHAT also facilitates rewarding contributions to the service's growth and evolution, and users can send and receive CHAT, along with other cryptocurrencies, directly within the chat platform.
The initial total supply of CHAT tokens is 100 million. The OpenChat platform incorporates dynamic mechanisms for managing this supply. This includes minting new tokens and burning existing ones based on network activity and community proposals. This approach aims to create a balanced and sustainable economic model, adapting to the ecosystem's needs and fostering long-term stability.
OpenChat is governed by a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). This model allows CHAT token holders to actively participate in decision-making regarding the application's development, features, and future direction. By staking their CHAT tokens, users can vote on proposals, ensuring that the project evolves in line with the community's collective vision and interests, fostering true decentralization.
OpenChat handles data storage and privacy with a strong emphasis on decentralization and user ownership. All user data is stored 100% on-chain in individual user-owned canisters on the Internet Computer blockchain. This method significantly enhances security and privacy by eliminating central points of control and failure common in traditional applications, granting users more direct control over their information.
CHAT tokens can be obtained through various channels. Users can acquire them by trading on cryptocurrency exchanges that list the token.
