Groups & Channels

Understand ChatMe functionality by using our web interface.

To create new group or channel click relevant icon in top-left corner.

New chat popup appear where you can provide a title, description, upload logo and chose one of chat types (type can't be changed after creation):

• Channel - Used for broadcast messages to general public audience. No limit for participants, only you can write messages. Example: public news, announces, updates etc.

• Private chat - Owner manage group members and all members can write messages. Participants amount limited by your Account Level. Example: When you create DAO, your contract can call our service to create internal chat for participants. Only DAO members can add new messages.

• Public chat - Anyone can join and write new messages, owner can manage group members. Participants amount limited by your Account Level. Example: Add public comments into your article, NFT or service. Any NEAR account can join and add new messages.

To create new group or channel you pay 0.25 NEAR to cover contract data storage. For Public/Private chat you can add members and edit this list later.

To avoid spam and cover smart-contract data storage we require small payments for public groups and channels:

• User join public group: 0.01 NEAR

• User join public channel: 0.0001 NEAR

You can work with chats & channels using our application interface or implement this functionality in your project, read more about manage chats and send chat messages integration.
