Who would have thought that it’s possible to integrate a messenger app with a cryptocurrency wallet? That is practically what e-Chat is all about, and surprisingly, you’ll find that the app actually works extremely well as both centralised messenger and a way to earn and send cryptocurrencies of your choice.

The main functionality of the app is two-way: as you chat you can promptly send cryptocurrency to your friends and associates. The messaging aspect of the app is very efficient enough as it is because it allows you to message your family and friends for free as long as you are connected to the Internet. What’s even niftier is the fact that you can easily add your contacts from the phone book. You may freely add and share various media (photos and videos) and make video and audio calls, much like any other messenger app.

You may even participate in massive group chats that can host as much as 10,000 people. Furthermore, the app even supports free international calls, albeit with a smaller limit of participants. What makes e-Chat ultimately unique from conventional messenger apps is that it is decentralised, meaning there is greater freedom involved. However, what is really bound to draw people to the app is its cryptocurrency aspect.

This is because as said above, it also acts as a multi-currency wallet where you can send and receive payments while messaging. It’s not limited to cryptocurrency as well as fiat money can also be transferred. And much like the security associated with cryptocurrency, know that the app guarantees that your messages would all be secured by end-to-end encryption. Every piece of data is definitely safe thanks to P2P technology.

As mentioned above, you have the liberty to be part of massive group chats. Well, the app allowed this for the reason that you can actually earn money with the amount of likes that the posts that you share on the photo and video content feed get. In the app, this is known as a “cryptolike”, and as you’ll find out, opens up plenty of opportunities for everyone (whether you’re the sharer or the liker). Think of this as a way of tipping your friends for the amazing content they share.

e-Chat is social networking with a cryptocurrency twist thanks to the blockchain technology involved, and it’s proud to be one of the pioneers of such an innovation. It’s what ultimately defines it and underscores its uniqueness when set against other messenger apps in these present times. It encourages the fundamental objective of most social networking platforms: that is to share great content, but it certainly ups the ante by introducing something as daring as blockchain technology to a messaging platform.
