XMTP

XMTP (Extensible Message Transport Protocol) is a decentralized, open messaging protocol that enables end-to-end encrypted communication between Ethereum wallet addresses and other decentralized identifiers. Built on MLS (Messaging Layer Security), XMTP provides developer SDKs and a gRPC-based network API for sending encrypted messages in decentralized applications, AI agents, and Web3 wallets without relying on centralized servers.

XMTP publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Network gRPC API. Tagged areas include Web3, Messaging, Encryption, Decentralized, and Ethereum.

XMTP’s developer surface includes GitHub presence, engineering blog, status page, and 8 more developer resources.
