CWEB Tech News | July 2025
Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey is making headlines again—this time with a bold Web3 messaging app that could reshape the future of digital communication. Currently in beta, Bitchat is a peer-to-peer, decentralized messaging platform that operates exclusively over Bluetooth, eliminating the need for phone numbers, accounts, or centralized servers. With end-to-end encryption and ephemeral, on-device message storage, Dorsey’s latest venture could pose a serious challenge to Meta’s WhatsApp, the reigning global messaging giant.
A Decentralized Revolution in Messaging
Bitchat, now available on TestFlight, quickly hit its 10,000-user limit within hours of launch—signaling strong early demand. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Bitchat uses Bluetooth mesh networks to enable device-to-device communication within a 300-meter range. Future updates aim to introduce Wi-Fi Direct, expanding both connectivity range and transfer speed.
Dorsey announced the beta launch on social media, describing the app as an experiment in “Bluetooth mesh networks, relays, store-and-forward models, and encryption.” The project is open-source, and technical details are outlined in a whitepaper on GitHub, although a full public release date has not yet been announced.
Privacy-First Messaging: No Big Tech, No Servers, No Tracking
One of Bitchat’s most disruptive features is its complete decentralization. Unlike WhatsApp (Meta), iMessage (Apple), or Microsoft Teams, Bitchat operates entirely without corporate oversight—messages are encrypted, peer-to-peer, and stored temporarily only on users’ devices.

The app supports group chats (called “rooms”) that can be password-protected and identified by hashtags, maintaining user privacy without sacrificing usability.
Jack Dorsey’s Expanding Web3 Vision
Since stepping down from Twitter (now X), Dorsey has accelerated his focus on decentralized technologies—from Block’s blockchain innovations to Bluesky and Bitcoin-based platforms like Damus. Bitchat is his latest addition to the Web3 ecosystem, reinforcing his long-standing commitment to user sovereignty and censorship-resistant communication.
Can Bitchat Disrupt WhatsApp’s Messaging Empire?
WhatsApp dominates the global messaging space with billions of users. However, mounting concerns over data privacy, metadata collection, and centralized control may give Bitchat a competitive edge—especially among privacy advocates, developers, and early Web3 adopters.
CWEB analysts note that if Dorsey’s app delivers on its promises—true decentralization, seamless peer-to-peer functionality, and ironclad encryption—it could establish a meaningful presence in the privacy-first communications market.
Final Take: Is the World Ready for Messaging Without Big Tech?
While it’s too early to predict a full-scale disruption, Bitchat is a provocative entry into the next wave of digital communication. Jack Dorsey is betting that users are ready to break free from Big Tech’s grip on messaging.
