Hi! What are the inclusion criteria for instant messengers? 🙂 I'm trying to understand the inclusion of Status in particular. My main objection to its inclusion are a lack of recent audits - this is particularly worrying since they make a lot of references to smart contracts etc, tech that is both recent and known to be prone to security issues. Integrating a crypto wallet and a messenger also seems like an excellent way of making the entire app a target of attacks. The app is also showing my something like 3 ratings in total on the Apple AppStore, relative to e.g. the 14k ratings of Signal. To me, this sounds like very untested and high-risk tech - the opposite of what we want in a secure instant messenger.
