Obby chat

Instant messaging app for Obyte. Offering secure end-to-end encryption, cryptocurrency payments, and smart contracts for fun & profit.

Building the new era chat that is from the ground up closer to its users in a sleek and light way.

Mainnet wallet can be installed from official stores

• Google Play Store
• Apple App Store

Current roadmap

The mobile-only messaging app doesn’t need to be fully featured Obyte demonstration, and it should only focus on those users who use chatting apps. The new app is being written in React Native, and initially, we would only need the following features for the MVP (minimum viable product):

Completed features:

• Generating seed words for new users
• List of chats and individual chats
• List of available chatbots
• Receiving payment from anyone, wallet balance, and history
• Sign message feature (also for request address function)
• Pairing with contact via QR code, NFC tag (Android) or deep-link on website
• Sending payment to contact via QR code, NFC tag (Android) or deep-link on website
• Setup dedicated Obyte hub and in-app push notifications

Planned for future

• Generating new address for every new payment request
• Ability to do P2P Bitcoin exchange smart-contract
• Ability to do P2P cryptocurrency price bet smart-contract
• Ability to do P2P sports bet smart-contract
• Showing signed smart-contracts
• Full Autonomous Agent support
• Multi-asset support
