💬 Web3Telegram
Web3Telegram offers a secure method to manage telegram communications via the blockchain. This mechanism helps protect the personal information of the telegram chat ID recipients through use of Ethereum addresses.
The telegram chat ID address is stored as a protectedData
entity using iExec Data Protector. Through this mechanism, users have complete control over which applications may use their chat ID for sending communications.
Sending a user a message, therefore, requires knowledge of the Ethereum address of their protectedData
as well as an explicit authorization for your account to contact them. But also requires the receiver to send a telegram message to the bot first.
Your account may be bound to either an application or an individual. At any time a user may revoke permissions and this revocation is immediate, giving users complete control over the privacy and security of their information.
Apps using Web3Telegram can:
- enable an entity (such as an application provider or an end-user) to message an Ethereum account holder with telegram without knowing their chat ID or username
- grant users complete control over which entities are authorized to use their chat ID to send them communications
