Projects in this domain should introduce novel blockchain protocols, consensus mechanisms, or architectural enhancements. Clear documentation outlining the proposed protocol's technical details and potential benefits is required.
Thunder Chat introduces novel elements by leveraging ERC-4337 for seamless onboarding and account recovery, combined with ECDH and AES-256 GCM for encryption, which are innovative in the realm of secure, blockchain-based messaging. Clear documentation is provided on how these technologies are integrated and the benefits they offer.
Demonstrating the feasibility and potential impact of the new protocol through simulations or prototypes is preferred. The project should address potential challenges, risks, and mitigation strategies.
Thunder Chat has an MVP built and internal testing is underway, indicating that the feasibility of the protocol has been examined through a prototype. The project also discusses potential challenges, such as gas fees, and strategies to mitigate this through the use of an Orbit AnyTrust chain or collaboration with existing chains.
Projects should introduce a technically innovative solution that addresses existing limitations or challenges in the blockchain space. Protocols that ensure a high degree of decentralization and propose mechanisms for effective on-chain governance are highly encouraged
The project provides a technically innovative solution for secure messaging on the blockchain, addressing privacy issues inherent in mainstream platforms. While the focus is more on encryption and user experience than on governance, the decentralized nature of its storage and open-source approach indicates a commitment to the principles of decentralization.
