Chums Chat

Chums Update 1.0.55 is Live! Hey Chumsies! 🐰 While bigger features are baking, we've taken your feedback from the last release and polished things further! ✨ Room Permissions Room admins can now control who can send reactions. Perfect for announcement channels and moderated spaces. 🖥 Thread Panel Desktop users can now resize the thread panel for a more comfortable workflow. 🧑‍💻 Code Blocks Code blocks now render with a cleaner monospace font. 🔧 Plus a handful of UX and stability fixes across platforms. Update now: Google Play | App Store | APK | Windows | Linux Stay awesome! 💜

Ready for Agents 🧠 We've been quietly experimenting. Over the past months we've been connecting AI agents to Matrix as real network participants. Not bots, not webhooks, but actors: with their own identity, the ability to join and create rooms, and to interact with people the way a teammate would 🤝 Our recent releases were quietly following that path: 🧵 Threads → context that persists across a conversation, so agents and teammates work from the same shared history 🔐 Group moderation → once agents got room permissions, proper access control became essential The last missing piece was the chat interface itself. Not every conversation fits in a bubble. When an agent returns a structured report or a teammate drops a long brief into the room, the interface needs to handle it without falling apart. So we fixed that ✅ | What's new in 1.0.54 (mobile + desktop) 👻 Redesigned message layout: bubbles, replies, avatars, reduced visual noise 🤖 Full markdown support: • Headers and clean blocks • Tables with horizontal scroll (still rare in messengers) • Inline images and GIFs • Quotes, lists, code blocks, and more | Building Agentic AI? The Amazon Nova AI Hackathon is running right now, one month left, with an Agentic AI track. One option worth exploring: spin up a backend in n8n, wire in Amazon Nova models, add the default Matrix connector to publish results into rooms, and use Chums as the interface to review, discuss, and share outputs with teammates or the jury. | One level up If you want to go further, we have an experimental setup that takes this a step deeper. 💪 An agent gets a full Matrix account with its own room logic, a digital identity portable across servers, token-based interactions, and end-to-end encrypted messaging. Through Matrix bridges, that same agent extends its presence into Discord, Telegram, and other platforms, working with the full context from all of them at once. The whole stack can run self-hosted 🏠 Still needs testing and documentation, so it'll take a bit more time. But we're working on it 👀 Download: Google Play | App Store | APK | Windows | Linux Happy chatting and sharp experiments 🦄

🔥 Group moderation! Hey chums 🐰 Group chats take on a life of their own. They start cozy, then one day you open the chat and realize it could use a bit more structure 😄 So we improved group moderation in the latest update. Open the group profile and you will find: ⚙️ Permissions Choose who can do the basics: • Invite users • Send and delete messages • Change group name, description, and photo • Manage members when needed 🧑‍💻 Members Tap a person to: • Assign moderator or admin • Remove or block users Grab it here: Google Play | App Store | APK | Windows | Linux See you in the chats 💜

🎁 NFT Transfers are live! Hey everyone! 🐇 You can now transfer NFTs inside a Direct Chat. Look for it in the same place as Share tokens. Quick flow: 🐾 Pick the network: Everscale or Venom ✨ Choose the collection 🎴 Select the NFT 📚 This transfer needs native gas, so lock a small amount of tokens ✔️ Approve the transaction When this shines: 🎟 Share an NFT pass for members-only rooms 🎮 Help someone access a quest room that checks an NFT achievement 🔁 Move identity NFTs such as Evername between your Matrix accounts in a clean way Update now: Google Play | App Store | APK | Windows | Linux Catch you in the chats 👋

🧵 Talk In Threads We continue to grow the Matrix experience in Chums. Version 1.0.51 adds message threads, so each important message can become a small conversation hub. With this update you can: 💬 Turn any message into a thread. Continue the conversation in a dedicated space without losing context. 📚 Protect the room from message overload. Active chats stay calm while deeper replies live inside threads. 🧭 Catch up in seconds. Open a thread and see the whole story from the first message to the latest reply. Threads shine when you want: 💡 Start collaborative discussions around a proposal or idea. 🌱 Move a side conversation into its own place without distracting everyone. ❓ Ask follow-up questions that appear after an announcement. Update now: Google Play | App Store | APK | Windows | Linux See you there! 🦄

🎮 Echo Arcade x Venom is live in Chums Hey Chumsies and Venom frens 🐰🦄 We are launching a new social quest mode in Chums Chat called Echo Arcade, created in collaboration with Venom Network and kicking off together with Stage 6 of Season 5. Your usual chat activity becomes a game with rooms, tasks and Venom XP rewards. What Echo Arcade is and how it works Echo Arcade is a quest layer inside Chums. You join special rooms, complete simple social tasks, earn Kudos and then convert them into Venom XP at a one to one rate once you pass the threshold for the week. Kudos are just points inside Echo Arcade, they are not a token, cannot be traded and simply show how much you contributed during the wave. Basic mechanics: • Weekly waves with a clear start and end inside Echo Arcade • Tasks are posted in the Kudos Moments channel in Chums • Each post is a quest room with status, rules, reward and a join link • Your progress and room rewards are tracked in the Team Play section How to join from Venom Quests 1. Install the app: Google Play | App Store | APK | Windows | Linux 2. On first launch pick the Venom.fan server 3. Open the Explore tab, go to Echo Arcade, and start Fast Track 💥 Also, token gated rooms are already live for Venom and Tron, in addition to the previously supported Everscale. See you in Chums 👾

🎟 Rooms for token holders! Remember we promised to tell you about the new Web3 feature from the last update? Sorry for disappearing, we got carried away with work. We’re back with news! What is it: Exclusive rooms gated by fungible token balance. Hold the required amount to get access. Drop below the threshold and access is removed automatically. Why you need this: 🎯 Exclusive groups for project holders 💎 Temporary access to content ⚔️ Guilds in quests and games …and more. How to set up: When creating a group, select "Token holders", choose your token, set the minimum amount for access, and optionally add a link where people can get the token. How it works: The system automatically checks wallet balance. Balance drops below threshold? Auto-kick from the room. Top up again? Welcome back! Where it's available: ✔️ Everscale: fully ready 🔜 Other networks: integration in progress Works across servers: Users from different servers can join the same room if Everscale is enabled on those servers. 📦 By the way, mini-release 1.0.49 is out: Mobile: Sharper avatars, cleaner look.
