Basics

  • Status is an open source messaging platform and mobile interface which will allow users to access the Ethereum network via smartphone and interact with various decentralized applications (DApps) on Ethereum: from sending payments and smart contracts to friends, encrypted messaging to much more special use-cases. Status Network Token holders will participate in the network’s decentralized governance. The project aims to enable everyday smartphone users to use DApps, and provide DApp developers an easy way to reach new users.”
  • Status v1 is live (13-2-2020) on mainnet. A privacy-focused wallet, chat app, and web3 browser:

"After nearly a year of more quiet and focused development, we’ve restructured the core application, built out the promises of the white paper and prepared the app for a future in which the Status Network seeks to deliver on the promises of Ethereum at large."
