Last Saturday, we had the incredible opportunity to attend ETH Waterloo. For those who may not know, Vitalik went to college in Waterloo, and the first ETH Global event was also held there. We couldn't help but feel the infectious energy and excitement for the future of blockchain technology.
I have a feeling that most of you reading this have experienced that magic when collaboration, innovation, and plain ol' FUN converge in a project you're working on.
We felt that 🔥 recently and thought we'd share the journey with you, along with some code for the tool we built.
When you build with XMTP, there’s no cold start for your app or your users. As soon as your app plugs into the XMTP network, it's able to reach today’s most popular and meaningful identities.
The first 100 people who message 'xmtp-discount.x' on @converseapp will get 20% off their Unstoppable Domain 😎 We'll also give one lucky winner a $500 USDC prize on Friday! Stay tuned on Converse for updates.

Our goal at XMTP is to enable apps to message any identity. Support already exists for ENS and Lens: just by inputting someone’s web3 username, the inbox will find the wallet address it’s connected to and connect you to that person.
Today we’re excited to be adding support for Unstoppable Domains as well, thereby growing the XMTP network by more than two million new IDs. Owning our conversations is directly tied to owning our digital identities, and our partnership with Unstoppable Domains enables just that.
This guide is a supplement to core instructions provided in the example-notification-server-go repository and aims to address some common misconceptions and issues encountered during the setup. This guide is written for macOS users, but the steps should be similar for Linux users.
XMTP Labs is taking a phased approach toward architectural and logical decentralization of the network. The mission is to make sure the network is permissionless: owned by infrastructure providers and users that choose to participate, which can be anyone. Taking it further, these permissionless infrastructure providers and users will become symbiotic, since one can’t exist without the other.

Follow these steps to start sending image attachments to wallets within your chat app. Our sample app includes everything you need to connect to wallets with Thirdweb's WalletSDK, use XMTP's remote attachments, and upload larger files to Thirdweb's storage.
Discover the WhatsApp for web3: end-to-end encrypted messages between wallets, that only you own and can take with you anywhere.
With Notifi, XMTP in-app messages can now trigger notifications to any web2 app, so devs can reliably reach their end-users without compromising on security.

Let's talk about some new content types for XMTP.
What's a content type? A content type is a way to describe the type of content a message contains on XMTP. Out of the box, XMTP's SDKs support one content type: text.
Here's the thing though: messaging has been more than just text since way back in 2002, when your LG VX8100 was blowing up from MMS.
So we decided to propose some new content types: Attachment and RemoteAttachment. These new content types support rich media (images, videos, gifs, etc.) and will let you bring your messaging experience to the cutting edges of the early aughts.
