While many web3 messaging solutions focus mainly on privacy and secure encryption, interoperability and scalability often are neglected or add too much complexity. But based on web3, we can build the needed core protocol to establish a connected messaging ecosystem.
Today's email and messenger services are either weakly encrypted or controlled by centralized authorities and lack the ability to work together across platforms. Web3 changes this with decentralized architectures and token- and key-based approaches that allow users to control their communications with their own keys.
However, web3-based messaging solutions are often still closed systems, have scalability issues, or use centralized components. As such, they are limited as interoperability protocols.
To establish a connected and interoperable messaging ecosystem, a lean core messaging protocol is needed that is secure, private, and scalable by design, that can be used as a core messaging layer, and that can integrate other protocols or services without compromising privacy or security. The aim of the dm3 protocol is not to replace, but to connect all the good solutions that exist and to establish this core layer as public good.
As a mathematician, Steffen has >20 years of experience in method and software development. In 2017 he started to implement web3 technology for real-world applications. In 2022, he co-founded corpus, a venture studio for web3 applications, and now, he is the CEO of one of the spinoffs - dm3.
