emberchat.xyz is the site for Ember Chat, a decentralized platform for local chatting and publishing free/premium digital content (especially articles and videos) using the Internet Computer Protocol ($ICP) token.
It is described on the site as a “Video-first creator platform” and functions as both a chat app and an ecommerce marketplace for digital products aimed at writers and creators.
Core Features
• Local/nearby chatting: Users can enable location tracking to find and chat with people in their district/area.
• Publishing and premium content: Creators publish articles or videos that are free or premium. Readers typically see a partial preview (e.g., ~30%); the rest unlocks by paying in ICP.
• Payments and wallet: Native ICP wallet support for deposits, withdrawals, tips to creators, and sending payments inside chats (including a “$ mode” that calculates the ICP equivalent for bills).
• Stories: Temporary image + caption posts that auto-disappear after about 3 days; others can react, chat, or forward them.
• Video support: Short video uploads (up to ~30 seconds) or embeds from YouTube, X, TikTok, Facebook, etc., inside articles.
• Discovery and social: Popular/top-earning feeds, tags, search, follows, ratings, a Top Writers leaderboard (favoring high earners), local shop discovery, and block/unblock controls.
• Monetization extras: Referral rewards (one post mentions 12.5% on withdrawals for referrers) and platform fees (mentioned as a 7% withdrawal fee + 1% referral program).
The official X account (@emberchatxyz) describes it as “Ember Chat is a decentralized local chatting and publishing free/ premium via $ICP” and highlights its marketplace angle for digital products (articles, video), premium unlocks, tips, seller ratings, and related tools.
