According to its developers, this custom fork of the Ethereum P2P protocol makes it less resource-intensive and better suited to mobile devices.
The app makes use of a fork of the Whisper protocol called Waku – to enable encrypted P2P communications. It provides a peer-to-peer instant messenger, a crypto wallet, and a Web3 browser. The Status app is available for both iOS and Android devices. Despite the collaborative nature of the project, Status is officially based in Switzerland – a location that is considered favorable in terms of privacy. Launched in 2020, Status.im is the result of a project involving developers from all around the globe. Status.im has noticed the gap in the market and is hoping to hook privacy advocates into using its service by providing private browsing, messaging, and a place to hold altcoins – all under one hood.
What's more, with Bitcoin hitting all-time highs, more and more people are choosing to invest in cryptocurrencies – and those consumers have a desire for secure wallet integration they can enjoy on their mobile devices. Privacy and data security have quickly become one of the world's hottest topics, and companies constantly appear that attempt to fill the privacy niche desired by consumers.
