A new innovative feature on Solana’s SolChat now allows more unique communication between different wallets.

Solana’s SolChat has added an audio call feature to its offering that allows for wallet-to-wallet communication. Anatoly Yakovenko, one of Solana Labs’ co-founders, touted the new feature on X earlier. In his words, he asked rhetorically
<blockquote>
 “Can your blockchain call you?”
</blockquote>
The feature utilizes WebRTC, a free and open-source computer program that facilitates real-time communication for the web. Precisely, WebRTC enables communication via voice, text, and video.
Users of the SolChat Decentralized Application (DApps) can now enjoy encrypted peer-to-peer conversations with their friends. The utilization of WebRTC makes it easier to connect directly between browsers and wallets. It is worth noting that both users would be required to be online at the same time to either make or receive a call from the other.
The specific WebRTC encryption standard used for SolChat audio features is the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS). Markedly, as a protocol that is well suited for applications and services that are delay-sensitive, DTLS offers top security and privacy. It ultimately prevents eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery.&nbsp;

Yakovenko’s post on the X app shows a lot of promises about the new offering and poses a major challenge to other blockchains.&nbsp;
Plus there has been a lot of animosity between community members of different blockchains in recent times. ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood was one of those who made a strategic move that underscores this sentiment.
Last year, Cathie <a href="https://coingape.com/sol-price-shoots-past-65-after-cathie-wood-backs-solana-over-ethereum-next-100/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">showered major praises on Solana</a> after the network embraced a monthly gain of almost 200%.&nbsp;
“Solana is doing a really good job. Ether was faster and cheaper than Bitcoin [back] in the day — that’s how we got Ether. Solana is even faster and [more] cost-effective than Ether,” she said at the time.
Shortly before then, Yakovenko had a <a href="https://coingape.com/solana-co-founder-lashes-out-at-ethereum-in-war-of-words/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">war of words</a> with Ethereum community members. It started with one ETH community member jebus.eth calling Solana, akin to the Democratic Party of crypto.&nbsp;He likened the network to a “coalition of poor and wealthy ppl who don’t understand where value actually comes from or how to create it, just that the things I want should be cheap.”
Solana co-founder quickly fired back at Ethereum supporters saying that it presents itself “not as a harbinger of genuine revolution, but merely as a novel spectacle of bourgeois upheaval.”
