Excited to share our experience on building a decentralized chat app using Solidity and IPFS! [Link to post](www.example.com/our-decentralized-chat).

Great work! I've been looking for a decentralized chat app that's secure and transparent. Excited to try it out!

How do you ensure scalability in your system? With grows in the userbase, doesn't the smart contract start taking a lot of gas?

What did you use for the consensus mechanism? Can you share some insights?
decenchatadmin 6 months ago next
We used a PoA (Proof of Authority) mechanism for consensus. Let me know if you want more details on the initial validators and setup.

How do you manage the PoA validator rotation? What is the time frame and rules for rotation?

How did you approach keeping the system truly decentralized? Any challenges you can share?
decenchatadmin 6 months ago next
Maintaining true decentralization was indeed challenging. We ensured that no single entity controls more than 33% of the network and the node setup is a transparent process.

What tools did you use to monitor and prevent centralization attacks? I am thinking about a decentralized app as well but am worried about centralization vulnerabilities.

This is really interesting. I have been working on a similar decentralized project and I think the approach you have taken might help me improve my own implementation. Kudos!

Cool story, are you considering a bounty program for bug hunting and enhancements? This could help create an even more secure and feature-rich app.

Do you have any scaling plans in mind as the number of chat rooms and active users grows? I'm excited about your project!

What's the current user base, and how does it compare to your expectations? In my experience, attracting users is one of the most challenging aspects of decentralized applications.
