BITCHAT is changing the game of online chatting, Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey has created a new application called BITCHAT, a new chatting infrastructure that will run without the internet.
Can BITCHAT really revolutionize the messaging industry? This blog is written just for you to know.
In this, we will see what technology is being used to make it and we will unbox everything in depth.
Brief Info About Bitchat:
BITCHAT was created by former Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey. This messaging application is built on a peer-to-peer infrastructure as its core component. It is built using Web 3.0, which means that no central agency can interfere with it. Because it is completely decentralized.
Core Technology Of Bitchat(MESH Technology):
BITCHAT uses Bluetooth and mesh network technology in its core technology, which makes it possible to talk to its people without any central server or internet, thanks to peer-to-peer technology.
As soon as you open the BITCHAT messaging application, you can connect to any local Wi-Fi network or use the Bluetooth network protocol to work without any internet service.
Each device acts as a node and one node passes to another node until they reach their destination. Even if the person in front is far away, the message will be delivered through the node.
BITCHAT messaging application is built using B.A.T.M.A.N. (Better Approach to Mobile Adhoc Networking) and OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing) protocols and uses RSA or ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) for end-to-end encryption and AES for message payload encryption. And the hassle of signing up with phone numbers and emails is over because it uses DID.
| Protocol | Type | Why It’s Used |
|---|---|---|
| B.A.T.M.A.N. (Better Approach To Mobile Adhoc Networking) | Mesh Routing | Decentralized, no central control |
| OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing) | Proactive Mesh | Keeps routes updated constantly |
| libp2p | Modular P2P Stack | Used in IPFS, handles NAT, peer discovery |
| Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) | On-Demand Routing | Used in mobile mesh networks |
It remains to be seen whether BITCHAT can really compete with other messaging applications like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
