Noir is a Chrome extension that enables easy and secure chatting across websites. Noir is also a social network in the sense that users can mint NFTs for websites they choose, providing easier and more personalized contact between anonymous Ethereum accounts.
Noir can be thought of as a web3-oriented messaging app, taking some inspiration from web2 community-based platforms such as Discord and Reddit. Within the web3 ecosystem, there are already many existing communities and products. However, some of these products' users have never diretly interacted with each other. Noir's goal is to enable communication and discovery of other users in each and every one of these environments, enabling better communities. As a Chrome extension, Noir is accessible in every corner of the internet. Noir can thus integrate and build on top of projects' websites. For example, users can open multiple direct, private chats with users that are unique to the website they are currently on. Users can also view communities that other users choose to display, allowing for the discovery of fellow community members.
