Introducing Quorum: 🚀 A Quilibrium-powered, secure, peer-to-peer, end-to-end encrypted group messenger. Ref: xitter.cf/QuilibriumInc/status/1… 🔍 What Makes it Special: Quorum is seven years of research and development in the making, purpose built to give the same kind of privacy with special-purpose encrypted messengers, but is meant to feel very familiar to other chat applications. What makes it so special? Let's take a look under the hood. 📱 Peer-to-peer: Quorum is built on top of Quilibrium in order to drive message delivery, and gets supercharged with more powerful features with the upcoming 2.1 update. Quorum is easy to use without running a Quilibrium node or a specialized Quorum node, and defaults to a light client experience, meaning users with low bandwidth can glean the benefits of Quorum without having to risk large bandwidth bills. 🔒 End-to-end encrypted: Quorum's encrypted messaging uses Quilibrium's Triple-Ratchet Protocol, which allows it to scale beyond what other encrypted messengers can. Many use Double-Ratchet for all messages, which is one message for direct messaging, but requires a unique encrypted message to each member of a group chat, meaning many set limits to about 1,000 users so the bandwidth and processing overhead is not too high to be unusable. Triple-Ratchet is one message for all group members, no matter the size, letting you have group conversations that scale and can work in more bandwidth restricted areas. 🔑 Safe and secure signup: Quorum uses Passkeys, letting you create an account in a matter of seconds. All information in onboarding is strictly confidential between you and only those you communicate with. 💎 Token-powered: Quorum will be launching a premium username market for easy short urls to be reached and to stand out with a unique user profile. Quorum will also be launching an answer to premium subscription features of other platforms, Quorum Apex – a monthly subscription, which is paid in crypto (initially, QUIL, with wQUIL and other options to follow in the coming weeks after its release). Apex is even more superpowered with its Sponsor feature – allowing people who create communities to be sponsored by Apex subscribers, and earn monthly. Apex subscribers get up to four sponsorships to use a month, and can only be changed once per month. Want to use all your sponsorship slots on one space? Go for it! 💻 Multi-platform and Open Source: Our initial launch will target web, with Desktop and Mobile clients planned in the following weeks. After the launch, all the repositories supporting Quorum will be released to github (and if one has a careful eye, they may notice some already have been, like our E2EE library: github.com/QuilibriumNetwork…). 🚀 Launch Details: Quorum's public beta begins on Christmas Day. Keep an eye on quorummessenger.com, which has an FAQ, and will be updated with the link to public beta access. Merry Christmas! 🎄 $QUIL
