Concepts

Brush up on some crucial concepts that will help you understand Push Chat better.

Push Chat Architecture

Push Chat is a web3 messaging protocol that enables wallet addresses to send and receive messages, offering a secure and privacy-focused alternative to traditional messaging apps. By leveraging blockchain technology, users can communicate directly via their wallet addresses without personal identifiers like phone numbers, email addresses, etc.

Encryption Version in Push Chat

Each Push profile or user of Push Chat has a PGP key that is created locally and stored encrypted on Push nodes. Push SDK during initialization automatically decrypts your key by asking you to sign a nonce which is used to derive the signature that is applied to encrypt or decrypt your PGP keys.
