## End-to-end encrypted payloads

The inventory references end-to-end encrypted chat payloads. This means message content is designed to be protected during transport for supported modes. Verification QR helps users confirm encrypted contact identity.

## Locks and sensitive chats

Locked chats and app lock protect against local device access. These are especially important when messages include wallet addresses, payment context, documents, private group information, or sensitive creator/community planning.

## Social trust

Large groups and channels need strong controls. Admin rights, member permissions, removed-user lists, and ban/unban controls help communities stay safe as they grow.
