Send encrypted messages directly between peers. Messages are stored locally on each node — no cloud, no servers. Supports message editing, deletion, and delivery via relay when peers are not directly reachable.
Create or join public chat rooms that exist entirely on the P2P network. Messages are broadcast and synchronized across peers in real-time with full emoji shortcode support and multiline messaging.
Built-in ERC-20 wallet for the CHAT token. Send and receive tokens, view transaction history, and use QR codes for easy payments. Your private keys stay on your device.
Register a unique .chat domain name on the blockchain. Your domain becomes your identity across the ChatNode network — discoverable by other peers without needing your full Peer ID.
