Messaging

Messaging operates on the Pingify App and Pingify Web App, as a person scans a tag, they reach the web app with the NFTs decryption key in the URL.

Current wallet-to-wallet, decentralised messaging services failed to meet the performance requirements for decentralised messaging when we first implemented them.

The pitfalls are summarised in two points:

  • Propogating each message via an entire network does not scale. They easily become slow and congested.

  • Metadata privacy is either at risk by being an open network for data to flow through, or like most modern solutions, metadata is obfsucated by bundling messages. However, this requires fetching data via inefficient and slow methods.

To solve this problem there seemed to be only one solution... create our own blockchain, wallet-to-wallet based solution that fixes these issues.

Moki.Network

The first MVP of this project is currently live and in use for Pingify, it features:

  • AES-GCM 256 encryption - Considered Quantum safe
  • Lightning fast RUST based node response times - Measured as low as 2ms (discluding network transition time)
  • User friendly username and profiles
