Today, the main global challenge with all Instant Messaging systems is controlled centralization. At the moment, social communication is presented in such a way that the vast majority of companies that have this service have total control of their data.

The solution to this global challenge is decentralization. By building an independent data distribution system, we create a real opportunity to communicate freely. The shutdown of one or more servers should not affect the entire system. Even if entire countries or continents are disconnected, your favorite messaging system should still work.

That is the main idea that drives e-Chat, they came up with the idea of an Instant Messaging System designed to meet the needs that current users have according to their social/professional environment in this new era, doing all this without compromising security and / or privacy. Things that other messaging systems have overlooked.

What are the characteristics that identify it and make it stand out among other Instant Messaging Systems?

e-Chat incorporates all the best:

A) -Chat Messenger has all the standard functions like sending text, images, voice, video, files, stikers, secret chats, etc... but it also offers these unique features:

SCREENS. Slide left or right to switch between chats, rooms and channels.
Use bots. The e-Chat platform allows bots for a variety of tasks.
Confidentiality. All data is encrypted with MTProto and transmitted over the network of millions of computers worldwide.
Security. The highest level of security and privacy is provided by proofof-replication and proof of spatial-temporal consensus, as well as by a robust code base.

B) Finance

How Secure is the App?

When using MTProto - the best encryption algorithm, it was developed by the creators of Telegram. This protocol has the following characteristics:

High-level component (API query language): defines the method by which API queries and responses are converted into binary messages.
Cryptographic layer (authorization): defines the method by which
messages are encrypted before being transmitted through the transport protocol.
Transport component: defines the method for the client and server to transmit messages through some other existing network protocol (such as http, https, TCP, UDP).

What would identify it as a Decentralized Social Network?

By giving a tip/contribution to anyone you like, you encourage them to publish high quality content. The reward for doing so is receiving an immediate cash reward.

This function will be of special interest to those who like to offer small gifts or compliments to their relatives and acquaintances. This is really great and so easy with e-Chat to send a small but satisfying reward for a person's efforts!

ALL e-Chat features are absolutely free of charge. Our mission is to provide the most accessible messaging system with easy-to-use features.
The transfer of funds in the internal currency is made on a commission-free basis.

Is the App available on the App Store or Google Play?

A beta version is available for download and trial in App Store and Google Play right now. Of course, we expect some possible imperfections within the current system at this time, and all of them will be addressed in future reiterations.
