Idea

I want to be able to send a message to another user of Abstract on another chain. When I have my personal chain, I would like to be able to interface with anyone else in the Abstract ecosystem. I would like to address them by namespace@remote.home, for example: misha@juno or by account sequence like 10@osmosis.juno.

If user is on my chain, it resolves message and sends to that user like internal emails. Otherwise it sends it to my remote account on the destination chain. We should also have the ability for users to NOT have the app installed and still be able to get messages that were sent to them.

Send email from one inbox to another

  • Bang paths are probably what we should do
