BChat gives power to the people. It's a decentralized, privacy messenger built over the Beldex blockchain. Complete privacy: BChat is not just for encrypted messaging. BChat is inherently private. It does not collect your personal information such as your name, phone number, email ID, or location. Own Your Identity: We understand that identities are complex. On BChat, you can assume your real-world identity or any identity that you prefer, using the Beldex Name Service (BNS). Stay truly private. Own Your Data: Our privacy policy is simple. You control your data, and we own none of it. The messages and files that you send are stored on your device and can only be accessed by you. If you want to delete your data forever, you can do it with a single click. Reliable messaging: BChat achieves low latency and high throughput with a network of Beldex masternodes distributed across the globe. Your messages always reach their destination, protected, immutable, and tamper-proof. They are sent whether the recipient is online or offline. Open source: BChat's codebase is open source. It is built by contributors like you. Anyone can contribute to the app’s development. Do More: BChat strives to be not just a messaging application. There's more in store in subsequent releases, such as onion-routed voice and video calls and federated AI-assisted moderation that helps filter content at the source while user data remains completely private.
