Davos, Switzerland – January 17th 2024, 9am ET – Unstoppable, a leader in web2 and web3 domain names, in partnership with Push Protocol, a pioneer in decentralized communication, today announces the launch of token-gated Group Chat for Unstoppable Messaging, an innovative platform set to transform communication within organizations, communities, and other team-based groups.
Designed for dynamic, fast-paced teams and communities where access to conversations should be controlled by blockchain events, Unstoppable Messaging allows users to discover accessible group chats and quickly collaborate using a decentralized messaging technology called Push Protocol. This capability is crucial for teams needing quick decision-making or maintaining records in rapidly changing situations.
Group Chat combines Unstoppable expertise in web3 domain services with Push Protocol’s cutting-edge decentralized messaging technology. This platform is not just another messaging tool but a revolutionary step in how teams and communities communicate and collaborate, offering unparalleled privacy, security, and user autonomy.
“Our collaboration with Push Protocol is a game changer. Group Chat is more than a messaging tool — it’s a new way for teams and communities to interact, make decisions, and share information rapidly, privately, and securely,” said Sandy Carter, COO and Head of Business Development at Unstoppable Domains.
As AI, bots, and traditional social engineering techniques continue to be widely used by malicious actors to spread misinformation, managing group access in a decentralized environment is becoming an increasingly strenuous task. This is why it is vital to strike a delicate balance between offering easy access to information and keeping that information private to only the intended parties.
By limiting access to specific communities based on users’ immutable and verifiable blockchain records and tokens, Group Chat could help eliminate — or at least severely hinder — the rampant spread of misinformation and scams such as phishing, spam bots, project impersonation, social engineering-based attacks, and more by enabling a private and decentralized means of communication between verified community members and project teams.
For example, a user may be required to hold a specific set of tokens to qualify for group access. Similarly, people could be automatically added or removed from a group at any time, depending on whether they meet certain blockchain requirements. Such permissions allow users to be confident that their messages are received only by the intended addressees.
As a result, it is increasingly difficult for “random” malicious actors to freely access Group Chat’s token-gated communities to spread misinformation, deploy bots, or try to defraud users. Consequently, this innovative filtering mechanism can be invaluable for any community to help make it safe, trustworthy, and more inclusive and equitable.
“We’re proud to partner with Unstoppable. Together, we’re not just changing how teams communicate — we’re revolutionizing it. Group Chat is the embodiment of our commitment to empowering organizations with the best in communication technology,” noted Harsh Rajat, Founder and Project Lead at Push Protocol.
