Chat: One secure chat Your invite only chat can be 1:1 or group. Web 2.0 has multiple chat apps in its ecosystem (FB, WhatsApp, iMessage) which means your data is exploited by each company Urbit solves this by having just one and your data is secure on your personal server

I wish there was more info on how data is actually handled in chat though. It can’t JUST “stay on your server”. It obviously goes on your friends servers too. But how much is on theirs? The whole log? All the metadata too?

All the chat data is encrypted and shared between everyone in a chat. Everyone involved has the whole log (metadata and messages) on their Urbit OS node.

Thanks for clarifying What I meant was that all of the data is secure from exploitation no matter the server

Important to note that Urbit is not yet truly secure, since it’s not yet audited. We use standard, known encryption algorithms though. And we’re working to get Urbit’s networking audited this year.

Admirable transparency. Do you have an auditor in mind? Any of the big four?
