INT Token (hereinafter referred to as INT), a digital currency developed based on the Ethereum smart contract ERC20. It represents an important value certificate that is trusted by the public within the INTIMACY social network, and can be transferred and traded. At the same time, INT has a broad application scenario in the social ecosystem built by iChat, which can be freely circulated, becoming the driving force for iChat's continuous development.
Chat is mining, which is a unique incentive mechanism derived from the development vision of iChat applications and INTIMACY social networks. INT and iChat are two product designs that are closely linked and promote each other. Quality social behavior will create greater value for users in the INTIMACY social network, thereby obtaining more INTs. As a unique existence with commodity attributes, INT can be traded and redeemed in the market.

Main functions

Communication and interaction
Through iChat, users can realize instant messaging and community interaction behaviors such as single-person chat, multi-person chat, likes, comments, rewards, red envelopes, collections, sharing, and discovery.
Match at will
Free-to-heart matching is a feature that iChat specifically launched to meet users' love and dating needs. When the user activates the casual matching function, iChat will randomly establish short-term contacts for users of different genders who enable this function within the same time. During this time, both parties have the opportunity to view the other party's detailed information. If you are interested in the matching object selected by iChat and want to communicate further, you can send a friend application to the other party.
Content Publish
People can share content through iChat, and high-quality and valuable content will be rewarded by readers. With the development process of iChat, it will also support more diverse content release types such as live broadcast, video, Q&A, etc. in the future.
Dialogue Translation
Online translation is a highlight of iChat. In iChat's chat interface, a dialogue translation function is creatively added. When people from two different languages ​​chat, the mobile phone can automatically switch between two languages ​​and present it in their respective native languages, greatly improving the efficiency of communication between users of different languages.
Optional encrypted chat
Considering the demand for private communication tools for more and more users in their work and life, iChat has added a user anonymized system derived from zero-knowledge proof to the chat interface to realize the encrypted chat function. Users can choose whether to conduct encrypted chats independently. In the encrypted chat mode, the image content sent between users will be destroyed immediately after clicking to view it, which is equivalent to providing a new layer of protection to the user's social environment.
Chat Mining
Mining is a social task model for chat, mining, launched by iChat, which includes an incentive mechanism for INT Tokens, aiming to build an environment that returns to the essence of human interaction.

Project Features

1. Token Economy
INTIMACY is developed based on the technology of the Token economy in the era of blockchain 3.0. Tokens are the core of the Internet of Value, which can confirm, measure and store ownership rights for information and bytes representing value in every Internet, and can record almost anything valuable that can be expressed in code. Blockchain technology can not only be successfully applied to the field of digital cryptocurrencies, but also has a wide range of application scenarios in the economic, financial and social systems.
2. Distributed storage of data
Distributed storage in blockchain is a complete data storage function that each participating node must have its own and complete data storage function. Unlike traditional distributed storage, blockchain distributed storage has two unique characteristics: one is that each node of the blockchain stores complete data according to a blockchain structure; the other is that each node is independent and has an equal status. INTIMACY protects the security of user data and protects users' rights and interests based on the untampered characteristics of blockchain distributed storage.
3. Decentralization
The ledger is shared on all nodes in the blockchain network. Every time a series of transactions are generated in the system, it will be broadcast to each node and the records are verified and updated by miners on the node. Moreover, the relationship between nodes is equal, and there is no centralized service node. This data sharing mechanism also ensures that the crash of a few nodes in the INTIMACY network will not affect the integrity of the entire network ledger, and can also avoid loss, tampering, and leaking and exploitation by third parties.
4. Zero knowledge proof
The definition of zero-knowledge proof (called "zk-SNARK") is that the proofer is able to convince the verifier that a certain assertion is correct without providing any useful information to the verifier. Zero-knowledge proof is also the core technology to implement the anonymous feature of Zcash.
The INTIMACY blockchain network will learn from the characteristics of zero-knowledge proof technology to realize optional anonymity function in the social process. The use of zero-knowledge proof derivative technology can enable two-way encryption of social information during transmission, especially for some users with high privacy requirements and certain special social scenarios, which will play a key role.

Project incentive mechanism

INTIMACY Social Network Token INT is spread throughout every link of the iChat social ecosystem. For iChat users, any social behavior that is valuable to the community ecosystem will receive INT as an incentive.
Chat is mining, which is a unique incentive mechanism derived from the development vision of iChat applications and INTIMACY social networks. INT and iChat are two product designs that are closely linked and promote each other. Quality social behavior will create greater value for users in the INTIMACY social network, thereby gaining more INTs. As a unique existence with commodity attributes, INT can be traded and redeemed in the market. Users will contribute their value to the development of iChat when using iChat for chat, publish content and other construction processes. Therefore, iChat will reward users who are active in the social ecosystem with INT, realize the benign interaction between the platform and users, and ultimately benefit together.

Project value potential

iChat is a blockchain instant messaging social application with huge development potential, and will host tens of thousands of theme communities in the future. INT will be the only token in the social ecosystem created by iChat. With the continuous growth of the number of application users, the entire social ecosystem will also usher in a big explosion at the value level, which will also drive the continuous increase in INT's value.
In addition, the rules for the generation, distribution, circulation and use of INTs are simple and easy to implement, conform to economic laws, meet the needs of future decentralization characteristics, and ensure that all members of the ecological community reasonably match their rights and obligations, benefits and contributions. The INTIMACY team will also introduce more scenario combinations in the subsequent R&D process to enhance the value of INT from multiple aspects.
