oc · chat
private messaging, built on bitcoin·in beta

no phone number. no signup. just
an inbox that's actually yours.

Sign in with your Bitcoin wallet. It becomes your address — private, and impossible to take from you.

§ how it works

three steps. one tap. no account.

  1. sign in

    One tap in your wallet. No password, no email, no phone.

  2. your address is your inbox

    Share it like a username. No directory to hack or shut down.

  3. only you can read it

    Messages open on your devices alone. Not ours. Not anyone’s.

§ three ways to send

three ways to send. two no other app can.

  1. [01]

    speak-now

    Everyday messages, free. Like any chat app — minus the phone number.

  2. [02]

    pay-to-reach

    Charge strangers a small fee to reach you. The sats go to you, not us.

  3. [03]

    seal-til-block

    Write now, opens later — locked until a future point on Bitcoin’s clock.

the questions we hear most. answered plainly.

do I need to own bitcoin?
No. Chatting is free. A wallet is just how you sign in.
can you read my messages?
Never. They’re encrypted on your device — we see only scrambled text.
will you touch my coins?
No custody, ever. Payments go straight to your wallet.
how is this different from signal?
Your identity is a Bitcoin address, not a phone number. Nothing to phish or reset.

Built in the open on oc lock. Read the spec.

§ open your inbox

your address is your inbox.
your wallet is your sign-in.
the chain is your clock.

No phone. No account. No custody. Free to start, and yours to keep.
