What BeeChat Protects
- Message content — encrypted end-to-end on your device before leaving. Neither BeeSwarm, nor any server, nor anyone monitoring the blockchain can read what you wrote
- Your cryptographic identity — never stored, never transmitted. It exists only during BeeChat use and is discarded when closed.
- Your real identity — BeeChat does not collect your name, email, phone, or any personal data. You are your wallet address
What Is Public on the Blockchain
Being a permanent and open record, some information is visible to anyone:- Wallet addresses that exchanged messages with each other
- Date and time of each message sent
- Number of messages exchanged between two addresses
- The fact that two addresses interacted with the BeeChat contract
Use a Dedicated Wallet
BeeSwarm allows you to create and manage multiple wallets. See how to create a new wallet.What Never to Send Through BeeChat
Additionally, avoid sending through BeeChat:- Passwords for any service
- Banking data or personal documents
- Information you would not be comfortable seeing made public in the future
Messages Are Permanent
Everything you send through BeeChat is permanently recorded on BNB Smart Chain. It is not possible to delete, edit, or revoke a message after sending. Think carefully before sending — the record is forever.On Quantum Computing
The encryption used by BeeChat follows the same standards adopted by Signal, WhatsApp, the TLS protocol that protects the entire internet, global banking systems, and government security agencies around the world. There is no computer today capable of breaking this protection in any reasonable time. However, advances in quantum computing represent a long-term risk to current cryptographic standards — including those used by Signal, WhatsApp, and most of the internet. Since messages are permanently recorded on the blockchain, this risk applies to BeeChat in the same way it applies to any digital communication today. This is not an immediate risk — serious estimates place this horizon decades away — but it is real and worth knowing.The global cryptographic community is already working on quantum-resistant algorithms. Ethereum itself is developing measures in this direction. Follow the developments at ethereum.org and NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography.
The same protection standards used by BeeChat are widely documented and audited by the global security community. To learn more:

- TLS 1.3 — RFC 8446 — cryptographic standard that protects the entire internet

Responsible Use
BeeChat is a private communication tool built on public and immutable infrastructure. With that come responsibilities:- All interactions are traceable on-chain — addresses, dates, and message volumes are public
- Although content is encrypted, the communication pattern between addresses is visible
- BeeSwarm has no access to message content and cannot mediate disputes about what was said
BeeChat is intended for legitimate conversations between users. Use of the platform implies agreement with BeeSwarm’s Terms of Use, especially sections 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8, which specifically address BeeChat.
Security Recommendations
| Recommendation | Why |
|---|---|
| Use a dedicated wallet for BeeChat | Protects your identity and separates risks |
| Enable biometric authentication | Speeds up access without compromising security |
| Never send seed phrase or private key | Fundamental rule, no exceptions |
| Confirm the contact’s address before sending | Messages are permanent and irreversible |
| Do not send content that cannot be public in the future | Messages exist forever on the blockchain |
