Elon Musk revealed that X is launching a new feature called XChat, built on the Rust platform with Bitcoin-style encryption. He calls it a "completely new architecture".
On Sunday, Musk hinted at the launch of XChat, a platform for end-to-end encrypted messaging. This feature will include disappearing messages and audio/video calls "without a phone number on all platforms".
"Completely new XChat is being introduced with encryption, disappearing messages, and the ability to send any type of file," he wrote to his 220 million followers. "And also audio/video calls."
Rust is a programming language known for its speed, memory safety, and concurrency. The new architecture uses encryption methods similar to those used in Bitcoin.
