Consensual Messaging 💌💬

🥇 Winner at ZuzaluHacks September 2023 in the Infrastructure and Public Goods track.

Consensual Messaging lets users send messages only when both parties have sent a message. Users encrypt their message, which the contract decrypts. If a matching pair is found in its logs, both users get the message. Otherwise, it awaits a match.

⚠️ NOTE: contracts currently do not have private keys, to be tackled using EIP 6551
