The problem CONEKT solves

Privacy: Traditional chat applications are often centralized, thus leading the user vulnerable to data breaches and privacy violations. Our app CONEKT aims to store user data on a blockchain, ensuring that conversations are private and secure.

Censorship: A decentralized chat DApp enables users to communicate without the risk of censorship, thus avoiding it to be susceptible to governments and other authorities

Interoperability: Traditional chat applications are often proprietary, while our app CONEKT, being a decentralised application, allows cross platform communication thus giving the users more flexibility connecting.

Ownership: Centralized chat applications are often owned by large corporations, giving them control over user data and conversations. A decentralized chat DApp is owned and controlled by its users, ensuring that users have ownership and control over their data. This ensures data privacy of the users and prevents personal data of the users being breached.
