Solana DApp SolChat Brings Voice Calls to Blockchain
New innovative features in Solana SolChat now allow for more unique communication between different wallets.
Solana introduces new encrypted peer-to-peer communication
Solana’s SolChat has added a voice calling feature to its product that enables wallet-to-wallet communication. Anatoly Yakovenko, one of Solana Labs’ co-founders, previously touted X’s new features. In his words he asked rhetorically.
“Can your blockchain call you?”
This feature leverages WebRTC, a free and open source computer program that facilitates real-time communication on the web. To be precise, WebRTC enables communication through voice, text, and video.
SolChat decentralized application (DApp) users can now enjoy encrypted peer-to-peer conversations with their friends. WebRTC makes direct connections between browsers and wallets easier. It is worth noting that both users must be online at the same time to make or make a call to another user.
The specific WebRTC encryption standard used for SolChat audio features is Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS). In particular, DTLS, a protocol well suited for latency-sensitive applications and services, provides the highest level of security and privacy. Ultimately, it prevents eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery.
Power struggle between blockchains
Yakovenko’s post on the X app shows a lot of promise for the new product and poses a huge challenge to other blockchains.
Additionally, there has been a lot of animosity recently between community members of different blockchains. ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood was one of those who took strategic action to highlight this sentiment.
Last year, Cathie heaped praise on Solana after the network achieved monthly revenue gains of nearly 200%.
“Solana is doing a really good job. Ether was faster and cheaper than Bitcoin at the time. This is how we got Ether. “Solana is much faster and (more) cost-effective than Ethereum,” she said at the time.
Shortly before that, Yakovenko got into a war of words with members of the Ethereum community. It all started when one of the ETH community members, jebus.eth, called Solana, which is similar to the Crypto Democratic Party. He likened the network to “a coalition of poor and rich people who don’t understand where value actually comes from, how to create it, and that what I want has to be cheap.”
The Solana co-founder was quick to fire back at Ethereum supporters, saying that Ethereum was “not the harbinger of a true revolution, but merely a new spectacle of bourgeois upheaval.”
