Tech billionaire Elon Musk has just announced a brand-new messaging app called XChat. What makes XChat different is how it’s built with inspiration from bitcoin developer Satoshi Nakamoto for security measures.
Musk says the app uses a programming language called Rust, and its security system is based on how Bitcoin works.
According to Musk, this app is designed to be super secure. It will have end-to-end encryption, disappearing messages, and the ability to send any kind of file.
“You can do audio/video calls without a phone number across all platforms,” Musk said in a follow-up post.
When asked to Musk’s own AI agent grok to compare XChat with existing platforms like telegram and signal it replied:
“XChat, Signal, and Telegram differ in features and security. XChat, recently announced, offers end-to-end encryption, vanishing messages, and X integration, but its beta status and lack of audits raise doubts. Signal provides default end-to-end encryption and minimal data collection, ideal for privacy but lacks advanced features. Telegram supports large groups and bots, but only Secret Chats are encrypted, with metadata collection concerns. Choose Signal for security, Telegram for versatility, or XChat for X users, though its unproven security warrants caution.”
Amid this announcement bitcoin is trading at price of $104,492 with losing interest among traders as volume has dropped by 17%.
