Tether is announcing something on Monday, but what?

I see this ...

Paolo @paoloardoino has been hinting towards it. Now it’s finally coming…

25.07.2022 🕳️🥊

and this ...

Private alpha of a new P2P comms suite started. Unparalleled secure. No central servers. Few minor bugs to iron out but stability, UX and speed is insane. Lot to build.

Can't wait for the haters: but but but but but I want big tech and oppressive governments to spy people.

I'm assuming that's what is announcing ... the alpha release of some type of messenger with video, voice and text that does not rely on central servers and lets you send and receive bitcoin. Anyone have a better clue, or additional info on it?

I had been assuming it was something using Synonym's Slashtags. I know this is exactly the kind of thing they've been working on.

excited to see what they’ve been working on, i’m feeling optimistic because of the track record their team has for delivering products that people use at a global scale.

i guess we’ll find out more about what 🕳🥊 means on monday… holepunch?

great find, you might be onto something here…

Decentralized peer-to-peer file sharing software relies on hole punching for file distribution.

If you're correct, this sounds extremely similar to what Impervious is doing.

If I had time and resources I would do a cost benefit analysis of Tether everything from the stable coin to R&D within bitcoin and try to draw a conclusion if Tether is a net benefit or cost to the overall adoption of BTC

But either way I’m excited for this announcement

Possibly relevant is this Twitter thread from a couple years ago:

Thread

1/4 I've discussed my thoughts on DEXes future with @Cointelegraph

I envision thousands of small P2P nodes/matching engines, each run by separate groups, resulting in a fractal liquidity aggregation model.
