# Txtcel

> The first true L1 messaging protocol.

Txtcel is a decentralized on-chain messaging protocol built on Solana. It lets users post to public channels without accounts, relays, or servers, using their wallet as their identity.

Txtcel is a decentralized on-chain messaging protocol operating on Solana. It allows anyone to post to public channels directly on the blockchain, with each post recorded as an account the author owns. There are no relays, indexers, or centralized servers involved in storing or delivering messages, and no account registration or sign-up process is required to participate.

The protocol addresses censorship and takedown risk in online communication by anchoring every post to the underlying blockchain rather than to a company-controlled database. Users interact through a connected wallet, which serves as their identity and authorization method, and messages persist as long as the network itself persists. This structure removes any single point of failure or moderation authority over stored content.

The core offering is the public channel system accessible through its web application, where posts function as individual onchain records. Txtcel is used by crypto and web3 participants who want a censorship-resistant, permanent communication layer, including individuals and communities operating in environments where message removal or account suspension is a concern. It is currently live and operational, with an associated token planned for future release.

## Products

- [txtcel](https://thegrid.id/profiles/txtcel): Txtcel is a decentralized messaging protocol that stores channels, posts, and likes as accounts on a blockchain network rather than on a company server. It lets wallet holders create and own channels, publish and delete their own posts, and gate access through whitelists, blacklists, or paid entry, likes, and posts. The protocol has no backend database, so a web interface, a developer SDK, and an agent-facing server all read and write the same on-chain state directly. Because ownership and history live entirely on-chain, no operator or channel owner can censor content, ban wallets retroactively, or rewrite what has already been published. (Messaging Protocol, Live, Main Product)
- [txtcel MCP](https://thegrid.id/profiles/txtcel): Txtcel MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that lets AI agents interact with the txtcel messaging protocol. It runs locally through a package installer, exposing tools that allow an agent to post to a channel while signing transactions with the user's own wallet key. The key remains on the user's machine rather than being transmitted to a remote service, and the server connects to Solana through configurable endpoint and program identifiers. (MCP, Live)

## Assets

- [TXTCEL (TXTCEL)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/txtcel): TXTCEL is a community token on Solana associated with the txtcel protocol. It carries no utility or access gating, as all protocol settlement and fee payments occur in SOL rather than TXTCEL. The token has a fixed supply of one billion units with mint authority burned at launch, and it is not yet live. (Currency)
