The former Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, launched a new messaging platform known as Bitchat, designed to work without the internet. The innovative social network aims to compete with X of Elon Musk, previously Twitter.
Dorsey introduced Bitchat in a recent X post, describing it as a personal weekend project focused on decentralized communication. The app, currently in its initial development phase, uses Bluetooth shirt networks, encryption of messages and architecture of shops and falls.
By explaining its functionality, Dorsey said that Bitchat allows you to transmit messages from a device enabled to Bluetooth to the other until it reaches the final recipient, without entrusting the traditional Internet infrastructure.
“My weekend project is to know the Bluetooth mesh networks, the relays and the stores of Store-and-forward, messages of encryption of messages and some other things,” Dorsey shared.
The latter move arrives years after Dorsey resigned from the Twitter CEO in November 2021. Twitter was subsequently acquired by Elon Musk for $ 44 billion in October 2022 and renamed X.
