In my view, Stamp chat is also a wallet that allows you to send and receive encrypted messages. These messages are then decrypted in the wallet using a private key associated with a Lotus public address.

Lotus - Add value to your Conversation

According to the Stamp Chat White paper, In order to maintain secured communication, and anti-censorship, Lotus (XPI) was selected due to its roadmap being highly compatible with the requirements of the CashWeb project.

The Lotus roadmap stresses the importance of instant transactions accomplished on a global scale while building on the tokenized proof-of-work conceptualized by Satoshi Nakamoto.
