Cardano Developer Launches Mercury: A Wallet-to-Wallet Cardano Chat Platform

Cardano developer Avatar Nick has launched a Cardano wallet chat system for the Cardano community.

Cardano is one of the most versatile projects in the crypto industry. In light of this, the Cardano community is attempting to utilize the blockchain the best they can. In the latest of such attempts, a Redditor who goes by Avatar Nick is working with his brother to launch a wallet-to-wallet chat system on Cardano.

Nick revealed Wednesday’s development on his social media accounts: Reddit and Twitter. “Today, we are launching Mercury! A Cardano wallet chat system,” Nick said in a Reddit post. He then further shared a video recording illustrating how the chat platform would function.

The platform would function as a peer-to-peer chat system. Per the illustration, Cardano users could log into the system using their Cardano wallet addresses. To chat with another Cardano user, one must type the user’s Cardano address in the provided field. 

Several Cardano community users asked questions about the project, prompting Nick to reveal more useful information on it. He noted that the system is still “technically a centralized system” despite being built on a blockchain. Nick further mentioned that the messages are not transactions and do not incur any fees.

Questions requiring information on the encryption of the conversations have not received any answers yet. Some users have noted that they would not use the platform without an end-to-end encryption guarantee. Furthermore, Nick added that the platform is free of charge.

Nick and his brother Chris, who go by their first names alone in the community, developed an NFT project on the Cardano blockchain last week. The project dubbed SaturnNFT provides an easy approach to NFT collection creation on the Cardano blockchain.

According to Nick, these projects are their efforts to bring Cardano to the same level as Ethereum in terms of versatility in the ecosystem. The Cardano blockchain, often acclaimed as one of the “Ethereum Killers,” appears to grow massively since its launch in 2017 by Charles Hoskinson.

The Crypto Basic previously revealed that Cardano’s TVL had seen a massive surge in the past week following the announcement of the Vasil Hard Fork date. The Cardano decentralized exchange protocol ADAX Pro contributed the most to the TVL growth, with a 2,525% increase in 7 days.
