What is XMTP?

XMTP is a protocol for decentralized messaging that supports encrypted communication between users. It allows messages to be sent and received using blockchain-based identities such as wallet addresses. The protocol uses cryptographic standards to ensure confidentiality and integrity of messages. Communication is handled through a network of independent nodes that store and deliver messages off-chain. The system is designed to function without central authority and aims to support interoperability across different applications.
