"Wow" is just about the best way we could sum up @ETHGlobal's #ETHSanFrancisco.

XMTP and Lens hosted a 𝕏 Spaces event on November 10 to dig into how developers can now use XMTP to add E2EE DMs into their Lens apps.

Inspiration comes from everywhere in web3. Check out XMTP co-founder Shane Mac as he shares how Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda was a key inspiration for XMTP’s approach to web3 messaging.

Today XMTP reaches a big milestone in our journey to build protocol for secure web3 messaging:

Lens Protocol has adopted XMTP to provide a secure and private direct messaging layer for the entire Lens ecosystem.

ETH Online hackers build incredible apps across video chat, game security, and talent platforms using XMTP.

How XMTP enables wallets to secure conversations, not just transactions and assets.

A primer on XMTP—the secure web3 messaging protocol—why we're building it, how it works, and where we see it going in the future.

Facilitating user communication and overcoming one of web3’s biggest challenges. NFT sales, POAP events, DAO activities, etc all have very meaningful reasons why users would want to message each other, but sometimes the website has no chat function and there’s no way to find the user elsewhere.

In web3, token-gated messaging opens up a world where you can see verifiable transactions and facts about the sender that help you vet who you want to interact with.

HackFS by @ETHGlobal and @ProtocolLabs wrapped and, once again, the creativity and quality of the projects was outstanding.
