It’s interesting that modern technology already allows creating accounts without phone numbers or emails, purely on cryptographic keys – yet services like this are still rare.

We recently experimented with this approach in Viper Messenger, using TON as the foundation. It works more like a crypto wallet that also supports normal messaging, with no gas fees.

A quick Viper Messenger overview – as easy as 1, 2, 3:

1. Entry – Start your node with one tap. No phone number, no email, no KYC.
2. Identity – Your cryptographic keys are your profile.
3. Chats – Encrypted by default. No dividing secret or not. Always secret.

By the way, @dogejetton pushed me to give Viper Messenger a proper UX/UI upgrade.
