bitchat is a decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging application that operates over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) mesh networks. It provides ephemeral, encrypted communication without relying on internet infrastructure, making it resilient to network outages and censorship. This whitepaper details the technical architecture, protocols, and privacy mechanisms that enable secure, decentralized communication.
BitChat, a decentralized messaging application leveraging Bluetooth and a relay network, has been launched by Jack Dorsey and his team. It aims to provide a censorship-resistant communication method, operating without relying on traditional internet infrastructure.
