A messaging and collaboration platform called Chat.Chat has started drawing attention in the crypto community for trying to combine several functions in one product: secure messaging, built-in crypto wallets, and direct connections to decentralized applications. The platform gained additional visibility after Bitmain co-founder Jihan Wu used it to interact with the Memo protocol and shared the related BCH transaction ID on social media.
An all-in-one design for chat and crypto
Chat.Chat is presented as more than a standard messaging app. Users can sign up with an email address or phone number and verify their account using a six-digit PIN. Once registered, they enter a dark-themed dashboard described as somewhat similar to Slack. On desktop, the app can connect with selected Gmail contacts, while the iOS version may request access to a user’s phone contacts to help build communication networks more quickly.
One of the platform’s main differentiators is native support for digital assets. New users receive two wallets when they create an account, and those wallets can currently be used for BCH and BTC transactions, including tipping and interacting with certain decentralized services. According to the report, developers have also said support for ETH and EOS is coming. Wallet features include private key backup and the option to enable password-free payments, which may improve convenience but also places more responsibility on the user to manage security carefully.
Built-in access to mini apps
Chat.Chat also includes a decentralized app section described as a “mini app browser,” accessible through a puzzle-piece icon in the interface. Users can search for specific mini apps, while three are highlighted by default: an SDK demo, crypto data platform Coin 360, and BCH-based social media application Memo.cash. To use Memo within Chat.Chat, users still need to log in from inside the application.
This setup suggests Chat.Chat wants to serve as a bridge between communication and onchain services rather than function only as a messaging client. For users who want to chat, tip, transfer value and access DApps from one interface, that integrated approach could be appealing.
Privacy features remain central
On the messaging side, Chat.Chat supports image and attachment uploads, GIFs, microphone-based communication, and even simple drawing tools. Users can chat in 16 languages, create custom groups, and use privacy-oriented features such as end-to-end encryption and disappearing messages.
At the same time, the report notes that the platform’s user base still appears relatively small. Like many other crypto-focused social and messaging apps introduced in recent years, Chat.Chat may need stronger adoption to gain lasting traction. Even so, in an environment where concerns about surveillance and data privacy remain high, another encrypted messaging service with multi-currency support and DApp connectivity could find an audience among users who value privacy and autonomy.
The original report also included a disclaimer stating that the publication was not endorsing the product, and readers should conduct their own due diligence before using the service.
