XMTP with Matt Galligan
from Web3 Galaxy Brain 🌌🧠 Hosted by nnnnicholas
Today, I’m joined by Matt Galligan, co-founder of XMTP Labs. XMTP is a messaging protocol built atop EVM wallets. Situating itself in the lineage of email protocol SMTP and Jabber IM protocol XMPP, XMTP aims to make DMs, notifications, group chats, and more available to everyone with a blockchain wallet. XMTP Labs, Matt’s new company, is the primary developer of the protocol. In this episode, Matt shares what it was like to be one of the very earliest Twitter users. We discuss his prior startups Socialthing and Circa, and his motivation for creating a decentralized comms protocol atop the existing blockchain infrastructure, today. Matt sheds light on why developers may choose to send messages using a shared protocol, rather than building their own solution or using a centralized service provider. It was great talking with Matt about XMTP. I hope you enjoy the show. Topics Discussed - XMTP Litepaper - @xmtp_ - Relay app
