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 🦄.

📣 New in Chums: Update 1.0.20

Hey there! We've got some exciting updates for you in this latest release:

🧩 Backup Seed Phrase Update: We no longer prompt you to backup your seed phrase on the server. We're working on a feature that will allow you to securely store your seed phrase directly on your device.
🌐 Evername Fix: We fixed the display issues for both Web2 and torrent sites within the browser when using Evername.
🖼 Image Reply Fix: Previously, replying to a message with an image would only show the image without the original message. This bug is squashed! Now, both the image and the original message will be displayed correctly.
🔗 Link Display in Chats: HTTP and HTTPS links now clearly display in your chats, making it easier to identify and click on them.
🌑 Browser Background Improvements: Browser pages now default to a white background, regardless of the theme. This prevents readability issues with black font on dark themes.
⌨️ Long Tap Fix: Fixed the issue where the keyboard wouldn't disappear when long-tapping on a message. Now, long-tap without the keyboard getting in the way.
💬 Focus After Sending Messages: Sending a message no longer loses focus on the input field. Keep typing seamlessly!
🔝 Improved Message Quoting: Clicking on a quoted message now correctly scrolls to the original message, centering it on your screen for better context.
🔥 Multi-Account Support: A new experimental feature in your profile now allows you to connect multiple accounts, regardless of the server where they were created.

We Took On the Web3 and AI Unstoppable Hackathon! 🌟

Hey, chums! 🐰

Guess what? We jumped into the Web3 and AI Unstoppable Hackathon, and we've got some exciting news to share with you!

Unstoppable Domains lets you buy and manage decentralized domain names as NFTs. They support domains like .eth, .dao, .nft, and more.

We decided to tackle one of the challenges in the Resolution and User Experience track:
🔗 Implement reverse resolution functionality to associate wallet addresses with user-friendly UNS or ENS.

During the hackathon, we integrated Matrix accounts with Unstoppable Domains (UD). Now you can find and chat with users using their UD domain in a secure room. And send tokens to your Chumsie! Even if they switch servers, you can still find them by their domain. We also added support for UD in our built-in browser, enabling cross-chain interactions with dapps.

Here’s a cool example:

We bought the domain chaintag.nft and linked it to a Chums account. Since this domain is an NFT on Ethereum, and Chums has a bridge to Ethereum, it’s a perfect match 🔥!

Now, anyone can go to the Chums homepage, hit search, and enter chaintag.nft. You’ll find me, even if you don’t know my name or server! Feel free to drop your feedback in a private message. We've also got similar search functionality for .ever domains.

And that's not all!

You can now visit websites linked to UD domains. To show this off to the judges, we put our donation page on IPFS and linked it to chaintag.nft.

Fire up the browser and give it a whirl!

There's more exciting stuff on the way, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Thanks for all your support! 🚀

Catch you later,
The Chums Team 💜

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.

Ready to get started? It’s simple! Just download the Chums app from one of the links below, and during setup, select the server venom.fan. Here are the download links:
