Is this the same as the COI protocol[1] that came up a few days ago? [1] https://www.coi-dev.org/

The COI FAQ says: "We are cooperating with Delta.Chat for it to also use COI to provide more features, we are contributing to the C-Kernel of it."

Exactly, that's what I was told yesterday as well. They're collaborating on https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core

Tried it a few days ago and it made a quite polished impression. I hope COI and Delta.chat will join forces and define a standard algorithm to convert e-mails to instant messages (and e2e encryption). Otherwise, we might end up with incompatible clients within the same protocol.

They do use a common core: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core
