This is a protocol. Not a platform. Not a product. Not a company.
There is no operator. There is no middleman. There is no one extracting value from your conversations.
The only cost is computation. Nothing more.
Your messages live in your canister. You fund it. You own it. You control it.
Your private messages are encrypted before they leave your browser. No one — not W-Chat, not the nodes, not any operator — can read them.
W-Chat cannot be shut down. It cannot be acquired. It cannot change its terms of service.
It simply runs.

›CANISTER SPAWN FEE: 0.5T CYCLES (~$0.68 USD)— ONE-TIME
›This is the minimum bottom-line cost the Internet Computer charges to create a canister. The host covers it so you can start immediately.
›On your first ICP deposit, W-Chat reimburses the host for this exact network cost. No extraction. No markup. The dev is made whole, not enriched.
›Zero ongoing dev cost. You fund your own computation.
