PIRL blockchain has just released PirlChat, a new decentralized and encrypted messaging App. PirlChat is currently available only to Android smartphone users. The new app can be downloaded from Google Play.

PIRL developers say, no email or phone number would be required to use PirlChat. No intrusion in contact list, end to end encrypted. No central server. So PirlChat is completely decentralized and anonymous –I would assume-.
