๐ŸŽฏ Chums Delivers on Its .ever Domain Commitment!

Back in January, Chums committed to pushing .ever domains from simple wallet tags to a true Web3 domain layer. Today weโ€™re happy to report: the deliverables are live and open-source. ๐Ÿš€

โœ”๏ธ The Chums team delivered all promised components:

โ€ข Cross-platform resolver library that translates .ever names into DNS, IPFS, TOR, on-chain addresses, and embedded HTML.

โ€ข Chums Proxy โ€” a local service that lets any browser open .ever domains out of the box.

โ€ข Mobile & desktop bindings (Flutter packages + sample app) for quick integration.

โ€ข On-chain hosting standard and a reference smart contract enabling decentralized websites to be hosted on Everscale.

โ€ข Open docs & demos covering setup, record management, and real-world examples.

โ” Whatโ€™s next

The project moves into a two-month post-release support window: bug fixes and dev Q&A via GitHub issues.

๐Ÿ“– Read the full report.

Another concrete win for Everscaleโ€™s Governance 3.0 commitment model, stay tuned for more! ๐Ÿ”ญ

๐ŸŽŸ Rooms for token holders!

Remember we promised to tell you about the new Web3 feature from the last update? Sorry for disappearing, we got carried away with work. Weโ€™re back with news!

What is it: Exclusive rooms gated by fungible token balance. Hold the required amount to get access. Drop below the threshold and access is removed automatically.

Why you need this:
๐ŸŽฏ Exclusive groups for project holders
๐Ÿ’Ž Temporary access to content
โš”๏ธ Guilds in quests and games
โ€ฆand more.

How to set up:
When creating a group, select "Token holders", choose your token, set the minimum amount for access, and optionally add a link where people can get the token.

How it works:
The system automatically checks wallet balance. Balance drops below threshold? Auto-kick from the room. Top up again? Welcome back!

Where it's available:
โœ”๏ธ Everscale: fully ready
๐Ÿ”œ Other networks: integration in progress

Works across servers:
Users from different servers can join the same room if Everscale is enabled on those servers.

๐Ÿ“ฆ By the way, mini-release 1.0.49 is out:
Mobile: Sharper avatars, cleaner look.
Desktop: Sharper avatars, higher emoji/GIF window, fixed 1-on-1 call popup.

Grab the latest version:
Google Play | App Store | APK | Windows | Linux

See you soon, a fresh build is in the oven! ๐Ÿง

๐ŸŽฎ Echo Arcade x Venom is live in Chums

Hey Chumsies and Venom frens ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฆ„

We are launching a new social quest mode in Chums Chat called Echo Arcade, created in collaboration with Venom Network and kicking off together with Stage 6 of Season 5.

Your usual chat activity becomes a game with rooms, tasks and Venom XP rewards.

What Echo Arcade is and how it works

Echo Arcade is a quest layer inside Chums.

You join special rooms, complete simple social tasks, earn Kudos and then convert them into Venom XP at a one to one rate once you pass the threshold for the week.

Kudos are just points inside Echo Arcade,
they are not a token, cannot be traded and simply show how much you contributed during the wave.

Basic mechanics:

โ€ข Weekly waves with a clear start and end inside Echo Arcade
โ€ข Tasks are posted in the Kudos Moments channel in Chums
โ€ข Each post is a quest room with status, rules, reward and a join link
โ€ข Your progress and room rewards are tracked in the Team Play section

How to join from Venom Quests

1. Install the app:
Google Play | App Store | APK | Windows | Linux

2. On first launch pick the Venom.fan server

3. Open the Explore tab, go to Echo Arcade, and start Fast Track

๐Ÿ’ฅ Also, token gated rooms are already live for Venom and Tron, in addition to the previously supported Everscale.

See you in Chums ๐Ÿ‘พ

๐Ÿงต Talk In Threads

We continue to grow the Matrix experience in Chums.

Version 1.0.51 adds message threads, so each important message can become a small conversation hub.

With this update you can:
๐Ÿ’ฌ Turn any message into a thread. Continue the conversation in a dedicated space without losing context.
๐Ÿ“š Protect the room from message overload. Active chats stay calm while deeper replies live inside threads.
๐Ÿงญ Catch up in seconds. Open a thread and see the whole story from the first message to the latest reply.

Threads shine when you want:
๐Ÿ’ก Start collaborative discussions around a proposal or idea.
๐ŸŒฑ Move a side conversation into its own place without distracting everyone.
โ“ Ask follow-up questions that appear after an announcement.

Update now:
Google Play | App Store | APK | Windows | Linux

See you there! ๐Ÿฆ„

๐ŸŽ NFT Transfers are live!

Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‡
You can now transfer NFTs inside a Direct Chat.
Look for it in the same place as Share tokens.

Quick flow:
๐Ÿพ Pick the network: Everscale or Venom
โœจ Choose the collection
๐ŸŽด Select the NFT
๐Ÿ“š This transfer needs native gas, so lock a small amount of tokens
โœ”๏ธ Approve the transaction

When this shines:
๐ŸŽŸ Share an NFT pass for members-only rooms
๐ŸŽฎ Help someone access a quest room that checks an NFT achievement
๐Ÿ” Move identity NFTs such as Evername between your Matrix accounts in a clean way

Update now:
Google Play | App Store | APK | Windows | Linux

Catch you in the chats ๐Ÿ‘‹
