Roadmap

Wallet-to-wallet messages that only the two wallets can read.

• Keys derived from your wallet signature
• Ciphertext stored on Robinhood Chain
• Works with Rabby, MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet

Attach a USDG tip to any message, in the same transaction.

• 100% to the recipient
• No custody — wallet to wallet

Send photos and files that are encrypted before upload and only openable by the chat.

• Each file is encrypted in your browser with a one-time key
• The encrypted file is stored on IPFS; the key travels inside your encrypted message
• Nobody — including the storage provider — can view it

Private groups where every member’s wallet gets the group key, sealed just for them.

• A shared group key, encrypted separately to each member’s public key
• Adding or removing a member rotates the key so ex-members can’t read on
• Optional token-gated groups

Send USDG inside a chat without publicly linking the two wallets or revealing the amount.

• Stealth addresses: each payment goes to a fresh one-time address only the recipient can spend from
• Encrypted payment notes, so the amount and memo stay between you
• Researching shielded-pool designs that work on Robinhood Chain

HoodChat on iOS and Android, with notifications.

• Installable web app first (add to home screen)
• Native apps connecting through WalletConnect and mobile wallets
• Push notifications that reveal nothing — just “you have a new message”

New users message without holding ETH first.

• Sponsored transactions through a paymaster
• Could be funded by the protocol or $HOODCHAT

Fresh keys per conversation, so a leaked key can’t unlock past messages.

• Ratcheting keys, as in modern secure messengers
• Backwards compatible with today’s inboxes

A token that ties holders into the network: perks, sponsored messaging and a share of protocol fees.

• See the Token page for what’s being considered
