How it's made
Challenges we ran into One of the key technical challenges I encountered was implementing image messaging within the XMTP protocol, which is text-based. I solved this by converting images to base64 encoding, allowing them to be transmitted and stored as text strings while maintaining image quality and compatibility across the decentralized messaging system.
