Chat and attach money

Find a registered account, open a sealed room and send a message with or without shielded value.

Chat uses pool registration keys to derive a room in the browser. Register the account first.

Chat is free, temporary, and relay-carried

An ordinary message is not a transaction, but the relay sees connection metadata and keeps only a short in-memory ciphertext buffer. Your readable history lives in this browser. Clearing site data removes it, and the auditor escrow can derive the room secret.

Start a conversation

Open Chat, press New, then search a claimed name or paste a Starknet address. Name search runs against a list fetched to the browser. If the directory cannot be reached, the address path still makes the fallback explicit.

Write, attach value if needed, then send

The header shows the room id derived in the browser. Write the message and press Send for a free relay message. The paperclip opens an optional money attachment; that payment is a separate, fee-bearing pool transaction even though it begins inside the same conversation.

Know what persists

The message is sealed before it leaves the browser, but the auditor escrow can derive room secrets. The relayer sees connection timing and which rooms share the multiplexed connection, and keeps only a short in-memory ciphertext buffer. Conversation history lives in this browser, so clearing site data removes it.

The full trust boundary and the exact comparison with Mail are in how Chat works.
