💡 THE BIG IDEA

✉️ The Evolution of Messaging Apps

Imagine making bets with your friends inside a group chat.

Or paying a dinner tab.

Turns out, this wasn’t just a joke. It was a glimpse into the next trillion-dollar platform shift: messaging apps as programmable economies.

For years, messaging has been a dead zone for innovation. WhatsApp, iMessage, even Telegram — closed platforms.
You could chat, sure, but building on top? Off limits.
But now? Open protocols like XMTP are quietly flipping the switch.

• Developers can now build apps inside chats

• AI agents can join your group and participate

• Payments and predictions happen in-line

• All powered by crypto — but you’d never know it

This isn’t theoretical. XMTP just launched globally, making messaging censorship-resistant, AI-ready, and borderless by default.
And with financial rails embedded, group chats are becoming micro-economies:

Imagine:

• You and your friends use a group chat to collect money for a trip

• Your sports team plans games and pays dues right in the chat

• A family shares chores and sends grocery money without leaving the conversation

And here's the kicker: you own your messages, keys, and data.
If your app gets banned, you just port your chats elsewhere.
No lock-in.
No gatekeeper.

It’s the App Store moment for messaging — only this time, you control the protocol.

Suddenly, the group chats could feel less like a conversation... and more like a platform.

And for the entrepreneurs reading this, niche messaging apps might be an early trend worth at least checking out.
