Twitter (Now X) co-founder and Block Inc. (NYSE:XYZ) CEO, Jack Dorsey, has launched a beta version of a new decentralized messaging service, Bitchat, that operates entirely over Bluetooth.
What Happened: Dorsey spent his weekend delving into the intricacies of Bluetooth mesh networks, relays, store and forward models, and message encryption models. He shared his findings and introduced Bitchat on X on Sunday. The new system, according to Dorsey, has “IRC [Internet Relay Chat] vibes,” evoking the early era of web-based messaging platforms from the late 1990s.
