穩健,是 Gate 持續增長的核心動力。
真正的成長,不是順風順水,而是在市場低迷時依然堅定前行。我們或許能預判牛熊市的大致節奏,但絕無法精準預測它們何時到來。特別是在熊市週期,才真正考驗一家交易所的實力。

Jack Dorsey tests Bitchat — decentralized messaging without internet
Block CEO and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has launched the beta version of a new decentralized peer-to-peer messaging service that runs entirely over Bluetooth
Jack Dorsey said his weekend was spent learning about “Bluetooth mesh networks, relays, store and forward models, message encryption models, and a few other things” as he introduced Bitchat on X on Sunday
The “Bluetooth mesh chat” system has “IRC [Internet Relay Chat] vibes,” Dorsey added, harking back to the early days of web-based messaging systems in the late 1990s
His white paper goes into more detail about Bitchat, which is a decentralized messaging application that operates over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) mesh networks.
According to the white paper, the network would be fully decentralized with no central servers, accounts, email addresses, phone numbers to register, or infrastructure dependencies
It provides “ephemeral messaging,” whereby messages exist only in device memory by default and are not stored on a central database. There is also end-to-end encryption for an extra layer of security
Current popular messaging applications such as WhatsApp and Messenger are run by social media giants such as Meta, which are centralized, profit-driven corporations that use personal and message data as a product

Meanwhile, mesh networking enables automatic multi-hop message relaying, and room-based chat can be set up with hashtag-named group chats and optional password protection. A “store-and-forward” system caches messages for offline peers for set time periods
In April, Cointelegraph reported that some popular social messaging apps could be spying on users, hoovering up personal information and messages
Bluetooth relays to hop messages
Each device acts as both client and peripheral, creating a self-organizing mesh where messages can hop between devices to reach distant peers. The system uses a 30-meter Bluetooth range with bridge nodes connecting separate clusters.
There are future plans to enable messaging over WiFi, which will increase the bandwidth for large messages
Multiple use cases
The system has several use cases, such as conferences, protests, disaster areas, or any scenario where internet infrastructure is unavailable, unreliable, or untrusted.
The paper concluded that Bitchat demonstrates that secure, private messaging is possible without centralized infrastructure, and stated:
Dorsey is no stranger to messaging protocols, having served as the CEO of Twitter while founding the decentralized social messaging platform Bluesky in 2019. He left the Bluesky board without explanation in May 2024
