Mailchain makes it possible to easily send and receive rich-media HTML messages between blockchain public addresses through a simple, email-like interface.
All message contents & attachments are encrypted so only the intended recipient of the message can decrypt and view messages. Messages are stored off-chain to minimise the data added to the blockchain.
With Mailchain, there is no need to link emails, phone numbers or other identifiable information to communicate. The following use cases for sending email-like messages are possible with anonymity preserved.
