I’ve never understood why a messaging app would require blockchain to function. Storing all text and images on the blockchain seems redundant—especially when end-to-end encryption is already in place. With E2EE, no one can modify your messages without access to your private key.

It’s a shame they broke Perfect forward secrecy. To me, this is a very important feature to have in any E2EE system.
