Incredible! 2,375 of you helped us reach our goal of 1 million ICP in just 5 hours and 46 minutes!
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and to
@dfinity
for an incredibly smooth sale experience.
🚨 The OpenChat airdrop is finally here! 🚨
Users who are eligible will receive a pop-up requesting the principal which will control their airdropped neuron.
Entries close at midnight UTC on Friday 14th April at which point the 1M CHAT will be distributed.

The process to launch the OpenChat SNS has begun!
We have just made a proposal to allow DFINITY to create the OpenChat SNS canisters on the SNS subnet on our behalf.
If it passes, a proposal to launch the OpenChat SNS decentralization sale will follow!
New user registrations are paused 🚨
We have grown rapidly in the last few weeks which is a great problem to have but our subnet is approaching its limit!
We are close to completing the work to scale across multiple subnets which will allow OpenChat to grow indefinitely!
#ICP
Standby for some initial proposals from the OC dev team.
- agree an airdrop to Diamond members
- add some liquidity to DEXes
- some canister upgrades
We are working hard on these behind the scenes so please bear with us.

You can now send/receive ckBTC messages!
To celebrate this we are giving away 1 ckBTC to lots of lucky diamond users.
Make sure you sign-in to OpenChat tomorrow (UK time) and keep an eye out for prize messages! Good luck!
#ICP
The airdrop is complete!
1M CHAT has been distributed to all 12908 users who submitted their principals!
OpenChat is now much more decentralized, since these users have become co-owners and can take part in the governance of OpenChat, helping to drive its direction.

We have recently seen lots of interest from users hoping for a big airdrop when we launch the CHAT token.
I can confirm we will propose a small scale airdrop but that writing spam messages will be penalised.
We have introduced a feature to allow groups admins to report spam.
🚨 The proposal to create an SNS-DAO for OpenChat has passed! 🚨
Based on the proposal execution time and the configured delay, the decentralization sale will start tomorrow (Friday) just before 7am UTC.
Here we go! 🚀

Make sure you are on the latest version of iOS (16.4) and that you have OpenChat saved to your home screen for this work.
Now that CHAT is listed on CEXs,

OpenChat is now the highest ranked project using the CHAT ticker!

As well as rewarding users through governance we will also seek to reward positive use of the app (community building, referral, moderation etc) with CHAT tokens. We may also propose development bounties for new features paid in CHAT tokens.
Introducing the OpenChat whitepaper (inc tokenomics)!

Hope to see you at the upcoming decentralization sale which will put OpenChat into the hands of the community.
20% of 1B CHAT tokens will be sold raising 0.1 -> 1M ICP for the SNS treasury.

The OpenChat SNS decentralization sale is now being "finalized". This involves 1000s of ledger transfers and the creation of 1000s of CHAT neurons and will take several hours. Until this process completes all neurons will be in readonly mode.
New feature coming up next - Gated Groups!
Diamond members can add gates to a group to restrict who can join.
The first 2 gates will be:
- DiamondMember
- SnsNeuron (users must own SNS neuron, incl. optional min stake + lock period)
Coming soon:
- NnsNeuron
- NFT

There is a scam account on OpenChat called SNS1Bot which is asking users to send 1 ICP for SNS-1 tokens. The real account is SNS1_Bot and won't ask for ICP!
We will deploy a suspend account feature on Monday. In the meantime we have appended the text "_(SCAM!)" to this username.
We're constantly building! 🏗️
Rather than only tweeting big ticket features we're now going to post weekly roundups.
This week's progress:
Performance
- Speed up page load by using cached Registry data
- Use new synchronous IC `call` API to speed up all update calls
- Display
2000 OC OGs are eligible for the SNS-1 airdrop!

There are currently 17329 💎 accounts. We will ask each user for the principal they want to use to control their neuron and they will have a week to respond.
There are probably quite a few dormant 💎 accounts so we think the number of recipients will actually be much lower.

Couldn’t someone buy up enough CHAT tokens to effectively take control of the system and run off with the funds? 😱Our tokenomics have been designed very carefully to mitigate this so-called 51% attack. To put your mind at rest see our whitepaper:
The longer you have been a user of OpenChat the bigger the neuron you will receive. The neuron value of the earlist users will be 3x that of the latest.
