X, formerly Twitter, is set to launch XChat, its new direct-messaging service built on Rust architecture featuring 'Bitcoin-style encryption.' Key functionalities include vanishing messages, video and audio calling, and file sharing. Although Musk's encryption claim received criticism from Bitcoin advocates, XChat aims to create a secure messaging experience. Currently available in beta for select testers, XChat will also have a passcode feature and is part of Musk's broader ambition to develop X into a comprehensive 'everything app,' which will include upcoming payment capabilities with XMoney.
XChat will be built on the Rust architecture, providing it with 'Bitcoin-style encryption,' including features like vanishing messages and audio/video calls.
Musk's announcement aims to make X the 'everything app,' with plans also for XMoney, a payments feature rolling out later this year.
