Web3mail offers developers methods to create apps that:
- enable an entity (such as a (d)app provider or an end-user) to email an Ethereum account holder without knowing her/his email address
- eliminate the need for end-users to share their email address with multiple third-parties, reducing the risk of data breaches and spam.
Web3mail is composed of 2 methods:
- fetchMyContacts — that enables an entity to retrieve a list of Ethereum accounts whose owners have authorized the entity to email them
- sendEmail — that allows an entity to email a user (previously fetched via the fetchMyContacts method) knowing only her/his Ethereum account.
Web3mail is available as an npm package.
