Making Web3 Mobile
summary
Status.im is a mobile-first Web3 app that combines an ERC‑20 crypto wallet, a decentralized peer‑to‑peer messenger built on Whisper, and a Web3 browser. Implementation uses status‑go with go‑ethereum, a status‑react ClojureScript client, and currently connects via Infura RPC while pursuing light and ultra‑light clients. Messages use low‑cost proof‑of‑work, TTLs of ~30 seconds–2 minutes, and nine hosted mail servers; observed load is about 2000 messages a day. An ENS registration dApp and an extensions alpha with an IPFS playground are live.
