Block CEO and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsi has launched the beta version of a new decentralized Peer-to-Pier messaging service that runs completely on Bluetooth.
Jack Dorsi stated that her weekend was spent learning about “Bluetooth Aries Network, relay, store and forward model, message encryption model and some other things. Pur: Bitch at X on Sunday.
The “Bluetooth Mesh Chat” system has “IRC (Internet Relay Chat) Vibes”, Daisi said, “The late 1990s returned to the early days of the web-based messaging system.
His white paper The BITCHAT goes into more detail, which is a decentralized message application operated on the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) Aries network.
“This provides almanac, encrypted communication without relying on the Internet infrastructure, making it flexible for network outage and sensorship.”
Fully decentralized and private
According to the white paper, the network will be fully decentralized with no central server, accounts, email addresses, phone numbers, or with infrastructure dependence.
It provides “almanac messaging”, making the messages present only by default in device memory and not stored on the central database. There is also an end-to-end encryption for an additional layer of security.
Current popular messaging applications such as WhatsApp and Messenger are run by social media giants such as meta, which are centralized, beneficial corporations that use individual and message data as a product.

Meanwhile, Aries Networking enables automated multi-hop messages relay, and room-based chats can be set with a hashtag-nam group chat and alternative password security. A “store-end-forward” system set caches messages for offline colleagues for the time period.
In April, cointelegraph reported that some popular social messaging apps may spy on users, hoist personal information and messages.
Bluetooth relays for hop messages
Each device acts as both clients and peripherals, creating a self-organizing mesh where the messages can expect the devices to reach the peers. The system uses a 30-meter Bluetooth range with bridge nodes connecting individual clusters.
The messages are encrypted on the basis of whether they are private, in a room, or in broadcast, and large messages are fragmented in small 500-bite chunks.
There are future plans to enable messaging on WiFi, which will increase bandwidth for large messages.
Multiple use cases
There are many uses of uses in the system, such as conferences, protests, disaster sectors, or any landscape where internet infrastructure is unavailable, unreliable or unreliable.
The paper concluded that the bitch shows that safe, private message is possible without centralized infrastructure, and it is said:
“By combining Bluetooth Aries Networking, End-to-end encryption, and privacy-conservation protocols, bitch provides flexible communication that gather anywhere regardless of the availability of the Internet.”
There is no stranger for the dysentery messaging protocol, served as the CEO of Twitter, setting up decentralized social messaging platform Blussky. He left the Blussky Board without clarification in May 2024.
