Hey Chumsies! 🐰

Half a year has zoomed by since we unleashed Chums into the app stores. Feels like just yesterday, doesn’t it? Let's hit the rewind button and dive into the wild ride we’ve been on together. Buckle up, it’s story time! 🚀

In January, Chums launched quietly but with a strong foundation. From day one, users could enjoy encrypted messaging 🔐 and seamless integration with Matrix servers. On top of basic communication features, we introduced Web3 capabilities like seed phrase management and balance displays, thanks to our initial integration with Everscale and Ethereum blockchains 🧩. January also saw us implementing innoscriptions ✍️, a feature enhancing direct interaction with blockchain elements within Chums. While ironing out early bugs, our team worked diligently to stabilize and optimize the platform, ensuring a smoother experience for our early adopters.

Then came February, and we rolled out a dark theme for those late-night sessions 🌚, along with major bug fixes and performance boosts ⚡️. In March, it was all about federated rooms, ensuring they worked seamlessly with NFT access. Transaction fees were introduced to support our small team 🙏. Deep links were added, making it easier to jump straight into specific parts of the app 🔗. We also implemented classic chat features like message editing and reactions 👍. Chatting is crucial, and there are important updates coming soon!

April and May brought some major updates, especially with decentralized websites 🌍. We integrated our browser with Evername, letting you host your site directly on the blockchain. This also allowed us to launch a donation site for Chums—huge thanks for your support 💜! Using the same tech, we created a Web3 channel for Chums. When a post goes live on the blockchain, it echoes to all our subscribers in a private room within Chums 📢.

We also linked your Chums profile with .ever domains, so you can be found on any server with your Evername. Push notifications 🏎 got a boost too—they now include message text to keep you updated. Additionally, we made numerous small improvements ✨, such as improving the handling of unsent messages, and overall worked on enhancing the UI/UX to keep everything smooth and user-friendly.

June is here, and that means it's crunch time for us to hit all our Q2 roadmap goals 🗺. Everything is moving along nicely, and we've got a new update dropping any day now, featuring a super exciting beta feature 🔥. We're going to need your help to test it out and make sure it's rock solid.

Thanks for sticking with us! Your support keeps us motivated to create awesome things 🦄.

Hey everyone!

We’re excited to announce that our new server is now live and fully integrated with the Venom blockchain! 🥳 We welcome the Venom community to join us and become a part of our family. 🤗

This is already the third blockchain we've connected to the Matrix federation. For newcomers, federation in the Matrix protocol allows different servers to communicate seamlessly with each other. This creates a decentralized and resilient network, enabling users on different servers to chat and interact, all within a network that already exceeds 100 million users. 🙀

New server is built specifically for the Venom community, providing you with private communications and a suite of advanced web3 features:

💬 Chat securely with your friends: Your privacy is our top priority. With our server, you can have peace of mind knowing that your conversations are encrypted and secure. Whether you're chatting one-on-one or in a group, your data stays private.
💸 Exchange tokens directly in the chat: No need to switch between apps. You can send and receive tokens seamlessly right within your chat window. This makes transactions faster and more convenient than ever before.
✨ Enjoy utility NFT mechanics, such as NFT clubs: These mechanics will continue to expand, offering even more ways to engage with your digital assets and communities.
📣 Subscribe to web3 channels: Stay updated with real-time on-chain notifications. For example, get notifications from the marketplace oasis.gallery.
