Bitchat's latest rollout brings an interesting shift in how messages get routed. The new mesh topology implementation ditches the traditional reliance on centralized servers—instead, devices now talk directly to each other using source-based routing. This approach unlocks way more efficient peer-to-peer messaging, cutting out unnecessary intermediaries and giving users faster, more resilient communication. It's the kind of infrastructure move that aligns with Web3's core premise: removing the middleman and letting the network handle things directly.
