Just a few days again phrase broke out about standard messaging app Telegram is likely to be seeking to open its personal blockchain platform and cryptocurrency tokens.
Properly, it appears that evidently Telegram will not be the primary firm to consider that as there’s already a chat service which makes use of blockchain platform to offer safe messaging service and likewise has a built-in pockets utilizing which customers should purchase and promote and switch cryptocurrencies to one another. The service which matches by the identify of BeeChat was launched again in October final yr now boasts of over 1,000,000 customers, in accordance with a press assertion.
The one distinction between BeeChat and Telegram’s upcoming blockchain primarily based expertise is that as an alternative of launching its personal foreign money, BeeChat permits its customers to commerce with the already current standard cryptocurrencies together with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and extra. The app is at the moment obtainable in 8 languages however in our testing, many of the plugins and social menus have been in Chinese language so we must guess {that a} bulk of its customers are from China.
That is likely to be the explanation why the app will not be listed on Apple’s App Retailer and solely has 100 downloads on the Play Retailer. Most of BeeChat customers appear to make use of third-party retailer or obtain the APK information obtainable on its web site to put in the app. Nonetheless, the trouble of putting in the app by way of third-party sources has not stopped the expansion of the app as it at the moment has turn out to be essentially the most energetic digital foreign money and cryptocurrency group in Asia.
In response to BeeChat web site, the app was created to facilitate data and transaction alternate between individuals who want to talk about and alternate cryptocurrencies. So the group is a giant a part of the BeeChat’s mission because the app not solely needs to offer customers a spot to commerce their cryptocurrencies but additionally a discussion board for dialogue on the blockchain expertise and the way it’s going to form our future.
For me, the language barrier proved too massive an issue to make use of this app for discussions on BeeChat Boards. That stated, the app labored effective as a messaging utility. If somebody is in search of a blockchain primarily based safe messaging platform, BeeChat is likely to be the reply for them, that’s till Telegram releases its personal blockchain primarily based app, which as of publishing this text continues to be not 100% confirmed.
