🎉 Anyone can now try running the experimental xmtpd node software and be a part of the journey to decentralizing XMTP! In the future, xmtpd might replace the node software currently running the XMTP network.
Near term (~3 months)
- Open source nodes
- Third-party nodes in testnet
- Smart contract inbox
Long term (~6 months)
- Limited public testnet: Third-party operators can run
xmtpdnodes that participate in the XMTP network - v1 economic model, including universal consent
