Unstoppable Domains Launches Badge-Gated Group Chat Feature for Enhanced Crypto Communication
Summary:
Unstoppable Domains (UD), a Web3 username protocol, has introduced a new group chat feature that allows username owners to establish badge-gated group chats where only wallet accounts with specific attributes can participate. Utilizing the Push Protocol, a Web3 communication system, this feature is designed to mitigate misinformation spread within crypto groups by enhancing secure and verified communication. UD previously launched a chat app that used Web3 usernames as chat identifiers, but this new feature expands the functionality to include group chats. It also gives group moderators the ability to control membership based on blockchain criteria, ensuring a semi-automated membership process.
January 17 saw the introduction of a fresh group chat feature by Web3 username protocol, Unstoppable Domains (UD). This new addition enables those owning a username to create badge controlled group chats; only those wallet accounts with specific properties get admission to these chats. Push Protocol, a Web3 communication system, was instrumental in developing this feature. Enthusiastically breaking the news, UD informed its 3.8M+ Unstoppable Messaging platform users of this revolutionary approach to community-focused messaging.
Providing a practical service, UD is a Web3 username protocol that offers a chance for wallet owners to assign easily-readable names to specific wallet accounts. The team behind UD is upbeat that in the long-run, this will save users the daunting task of copying and pasting extensive character strings when interacting with the account. The Web3 username is also alternatively referred to as the "Web3 domain name." In August of the previous year, UD launched a chat app that applied Web3 usernames as chat aliases. However, the app initially only provided for one-on-one communication, lacking group messaging features common in platforms like Discord and Telegram.
As per the communications released on January 17, UD's web and mobile applications are now fitted with group chat functionality. Concurrently, group managers can limit participation to those members who possess certain qualifications, referred to as "badges." These badges are awarded reflecting verifiable on-chain traits. This ease of management designation is designed to mitigate the spread of false information within crypto groups by giving a secure, private and decentralized communication channel to project teams and vetted community members.
Sandy Carter, Chief Operating Officer at Unstoppable Domains, elaborated further on the functionality of the feature in a discussion with Cointelegraph. According to him, a plethora of blockchain parameters can be used by group moderators to automatically assign membership. So, owning five nonfungible tokens might get an individual admitted to the group, or maybe taking a course could do so. This enables the moderator to streamline the membership. Meanwhile, group participants who infringe certain regulations can be manually expelled, providing moderators with the final say on who gets to stay or leave, ensuring a semi-automated membership process.
Based on a report from Push Protocol on January 17, over 400 groups were auto-created at the time of the platform's roll-out, based on the existing UD badges. The interface discloses several examples including holders of Cryptokitties, Yat, as well as Whales (owners of more than 500 domains), among others. The Unstoppable Domains interface also highlights that not all badge holders will be flood-gated with messages from the badge owner groups unless they opt-in manually, thereby ensuring individual discretion.
