Community-Building Social Features : openchat

OpenChat, a blockchain-based chat app operating on the Internet Computer (ICP) network, recently introduced a new feature called ‘Communities.’ With this update, users now have the capability to create server-like spaces akin to Discord on the platform. This allows crypto project managers to leverage this feature to construct their own communities directly from their websites.

OpenChat predominantly caters to crypto-oriented chat groups, boasting several communities with thousands of active members. The introduction of ‘Communities’ allows users to establish specialized chat spaces dedicated to specific topics, projects, or interests within the crypto space.

“One other sort of notable thing on the roadmap that Communities will facilitate is providing integrations to other apps in the ecosystem as well,” co-founder Julian Jeffs explained. “There are a lot of other apps that would like to have a chat function within but don’t necessarily want to send their users outside of their website or the app.”

OpenChat’s new ‘Communities’ feature can be accessed starting August 2 through the OpenChat application.
