Made in ~1 day for Web3Jam
Feel free to contribute improvements to the UX, performance or anything else you think the dApp needs. I'll test and merge all good, working requests!

A Chat app allowing users to easily send, cheap censorship resistant messages via Input Data Messaging. Allowing users to anonymously and openly interact with other blockchain users without worrying about data being stored on a server as everything is on chain.
The benefit of this dapp is that it utilisies existing technologies present in each EVM chain, and pushes the utility to be on par with trad-systems. Providing a somewhat easy way for users to view and interact with one another, without having to run to twitter, discord, telegram or other big-tech solutions as the chain provides them with the tooling they need!.
Covalent api was used to pull data from chain, which was filtered down to a set of idm messages and then converted into a suitable format. Filtering was done via web3js, first filtering out any transactions that use more than 66.6k gas, and then filtering out any transactions that do not contain utf8 characters or threw errors when using the web3 hecToUtf8 functionality.
All of the data handling happens on the fly, with no backend server functionality that the dapp uses, other than the rpc node that the users wallet provides, and the covalent api that is queried.
I had intended to add a group chat feature, which would have utilised a smart contract factory and data that would point to 'participants' in the conversation. The intention would be for users to be able to send an idm to the smart contract, and the ui would react by creating a group chat chain and informing all the users of the group chat messages.
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
In the project directory, you can run:
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
You can learn more in the Create React App documentation.
