# Keychat

> Keychat is the super app for Humans and Agents — Sovereign IDs, Bitcoin Wallet,
> Secure Chat, and Mini Apps, all in one privacy-first, open-source application.

## What is Keychat?

Keychat is a decentralized super app built on the Nostr protocol and Bitcoin
Lightning Network. It requires no phone number, no email, and no registration.
Users generate Nostr keys as their sovereign identity.

Keychat serves both humans and AI agents: humans use it for private messaging and
Bitcoin payments, while AI agents can connect to Keychat via the OpenClaw plugin
to communicate with humans and other agents using the same censorship-resistant
infrastructure.
