The night at Zo World became a contemporary to be discussed among the web3 folks when the whole community came together for GmBangalore on 12th May which was jointly hosted by XMTP, Huddle01, and MetaWork Labs, and it was a resounding success.

The three web3 startups have co-hosted this massive gathering of web3 folks, aiming to bring the adoption of decentralized communication as they strongly believe current internet platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, Zoom, and Chrome make the user vulnerable to privacy and security.

With this vision, MetaWork Labs built and launched Macha - A web3 native messenger and browser built on tech stack by XMTP, Huddle01, and MetaWorks Data Layer Stack.

“Macha will revolutionize the way web with interoperability and decentralised internet in the future. It is a web3 powered discovery layer of internet with XMTP’s wallet-to-wallet Interoperable messaging & Huddle01’s peer-to-peer audio and video calling” said Saksham, MetaWork Labs’ Founder.

gmBangalore is an initiative that the three companies are trying to replicate across the globe during major blockchain conferences like ETHParis and ETHNew York. Let's dive into what the event brought for the Namma Bengaluru web3 ecosystem.

GM - Bangalore Event Highlights

With a vibrant atmosphere and engagement right from the start- the crowd was actively involved throughout the event, thanks to the dynamic trio Prashant (Ecosystem head of XMTP), Saksham (Founder at MetaWork Labs), and Ayush (Co-Founder at Huddle01), working their magic, engaging the crowd like never before!

Prashant took the stage to deliver an insightful talk on XMTP and its ecosystem, shedding light on the organization’s mission and goals. He discussed how one can build key XMTP chat features in dApps. And he also showcases the current Lens dApps utilizing XMTP’s Interoperable wallet-to-wallet messaging.

Ayush followed suit with an engaging presentation on Huddle01 and its ecosystem, highlighting how Huddle01 is more than just a web3 video conferencing tool to Real Time Communication infrastructure which anyone can use in their dApps. He also discussed the future roadmap of the upcoming Huddle01 protocol and how it's currently upgrading the current server-client arch for Real-Time Communication to p2p Node - Node Architecture.

The moment Saksham took over the stage, the event took an exciting turn with the much-anticipated launch of Macha, the first flagship product of MetaWork Labs, and share the story behind Macha and plans for MetaWork Labs.

The event also provided an excellent platform for community partners such as The Phoenix Guild, OG Club, SuperWomen DAO, BuidlersTribe, and The Product House to showcase their contributions. Yashvendra (Head of Sales at Huddle01) led an engaging community fireside session, fostering connections and facilitating valuable discussions among attendees.

The fireside session with Shane Mac Founder of XMTP, hosted by Prashant alongside Ayush and Saksham, further enriched the event by highlighting the upcoming announcements of XMTP for the wallet-to-wallet messaging platform.

Launch of Macha - Web3 Messenger and Browser at gmBangalore

Macha - Web3 Messenger and Browser built with Data Stack and Interoperable APIs of MetaWork Labs. It brings you a new level of Interoperable messaging powered by XMTP with audio video calling via Huddle01 and web3 identity of Lens Protocol and leveraging many other powerful infra of web3.

MetaWork Labs is a Singapore-based blockchain company with a vision to create Web3 AI Messenger + Data Stack i.e. A private and secured decentralized internet accessed across chains and social identities with a single interoperable data layer.

Their data layer makes it easier for developers to get data from different sources on the web and put it together. It provides a unified interface for accessing data from different sources, which means that developers don't have to learn how to use multiple APIs or SDKs. The data layer also has UI Kit SDK that makes it easy to view and interact with data. This frees up developers to focus on building new, useful apps for their users, rather than migrating from one app to another.

While talking to the growth lead of MetaWork Labs Mukesh Godara, about Macha and decentralized communication, she explained “Macha in communication will lead to a better experience for users, allowing them to operate wallet-to-wallet messaging across different platforms from one platform itself. And the introduction of Macha in communication would also attract a growing number of individuals transitioning from web2 to web3. So yes, this is the ideal time to introduce a platform that will alter how people communicate in complete privacy without worrying about data breaches, unlike any other centralized platforms like Telegram, Discord, and other platforms.“

Dawn of New Era - Web3 Communication/ Transforming the Digital Era by Decentralized Communication

Overall, the event showcased the remarkable synergy and inclusivity within the XMTP, Huddle01, and MetaWork Labs communities, providing an enriching experience for all participants and reinforcing the importance of an open network for innovation and growth.

It is important to note that while Web3 and the blockchain industry are in a very early stage of growth but it looks promising as the community. MetaWork Labs, XMTP, and Huddle01 are tapping into creating a more private center.
