Chat SDK's XChat adapter encrypts bot conversations end-to-end
↗
Chat SDK now includes an XChat adapter that provides end-to-end encrypted 1:1 and group bot conversations, with automatic encryption and key management.
Engineers building bots for XChat can now rely on the Chat SDK to handle encryption, key management, and signature verification automatically, instead of implementing these primitives themselves. The adapter also supports proactive messaging when the user has encrypted chat set up and follows the bot, and it falls back to plain text for markdown features XChat lacks.

The adapter handles encryption, key management, and signature verification automatically.
Bots can message users first if the user has encrypted chat set up and follows the bot.
XChat has no markdown rendering, so the adapter falls back to tappable links, ASCII tables, and text with link previews for cards.
