Metadata, such as who users talk to and how often, is not encrypted. WhatsApp also does not automatically encrypt backups of chat history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On its FAQ page, under \u201cDoes WhatsApp collect or sell your data?\u201d, the service does not provide a clear yes or no. It only says it works with other Meta companies \u201cto help provide, improve, and support each other\u2019s services.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Musk said X Chat will avoid these advertising-linked systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">DISCOVER:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/high-risk-high-reward-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in 2025<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Much Do We Know About X Chat\u2019s Security and Encryption?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While X prepares for a wider rollout, the <\/span><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomfactory.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DEGN1 (dGEN1)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> team has spent the past year promoting a different idea: an Ethereum-focused smartphone centered on on-chain messaging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The phone runs ethOS and features a system-level wallet, a lightweight client, and a messenger that can interact with Ethereum and Layer 2 apps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recent promotional and developer updates describe messaging based on protocols like XMTP and a privacy-first setup tied to the user\u2019s wallet identity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The goal is to let users communicate and transact directly on-chain from their device, without relying on traditional platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A late-September note from <\/span><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/freedom-factory-breaks-barriers-with-dgen1-worldwide-release-the-hardest-hardware-wallet-in-the-world-302564525.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Freedom Factory said<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the team is preparing a broader rollout of DEGN1, along with upgrades to its built-in wallet tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">X Chat is pitched as a mainstream messaging app with peer-to-peer encryption and no ads. Still, many details remain unclear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DEGN1 takes a different path. Its messaging system is tied to a hardware device that links chats to an on-chain identity and wallet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That setup provides it with deeper cryptographic functions at the operating-system level. The trade-off is real. DEGN1 serves a small, web3-native crowd, while X has hundreds of millions of users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As of now scale is in favor of X because it is performing as per schedule. DEGN1 offers enhanced functionality for users seeking wallet-level control and crypto capabilities directly integrated into the device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DEGN1 hardware and software have been deployed since 2024-2025, but are continuously upgraded with wallet and OS updates, and are a small ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">DISCOVER:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/crypto-presales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The 12+ Hottest Crypto Presales to Buy Right Now<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/altcoins\/elon-musk-launches-x-chat-will-degn1-private-chat-outperform\/\">Elon Musk Launches X Chat: Will DEGN1 Private Chat Outperform?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/\">99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk plans to launch a standalone messaging app called X Chat to compete with services like Telegram and WhatsApp. The rollout is expected in the coming months.
