The TON network, developed by the TON Foundation, has introduced an on-chain encrypted messaging feature that allows for private messages to be sent between users. Previously, messages on the network were completely public. The new feature encrypts messages end to end, making them readable only by the intended recipient.
Key points:
– The TON network, forked from code created by the Telegram team, now allows for private messaging between users.
– The new feature encrypts messages end to end, ensuring they can only be read by the intended recipient.
– Encrypted messages are currently available on several retail wallet apps and will be added to the mobile wallet Tonkeeper in upcoming updates.
