We operate within an ecosystem that requires faster deployment, seamless user experiences, and integrated Web3 functionality. Ethora has emerged as a transformative solution. Positioned as a super app engine, Ethora enables businesses and communities to launch their white-labeled apps in under an hour, without writing a single line of code.
Ethora
Whether you’re building a fan engagement hub, an internal company platform, or a Web3-powered loyalty app, Ethora offers the infrastructure to make it possible—quickly, affordably, and with room to scale.
From Low-Code Roots to No-Code Empowerment
Initially launched in 2018 as the Dappros Platform, Ethora began as a low-code engine that required developers to build client applications and connect to server-side infrastructure. Over time, it evolved into a fully open-source project hosted on GitHub, with the introduction of a visual builder that eliminates the need for any coding knowledge.
Today, anyone can spin up a branded app within minutes using Ethora’s intuitive builder interface. Developers are still welcome to dive into the code when needed, but the barrier to entry has been significantly lowered.
What Makes Ethora a Super App Engine?
Ethora isn’t just a white-label app builder—it’s a full-stack platform that combines social communication, digital asset management (DAM), AI integration, and Web3 technologies into a cohesive and modular app framework. Built with React for web and React Native for mobile, Ethora is designed for cross-platform speed and efficiency.
At its core, Ethora integrates a robust infrastructure stack:
- Node.js for backend APIs
- EVM blockchain for digital wallets and smart contract interactions
- XMPP protocol for real-time messaging
- Erlang-based system for high-performance push notifications
This means users can chat, share files, manage NFTs and tokens, and receive real-time updates—all in a unified experience.
Core Features That Set Ethora Apart
Ethora comes pre-packed with everything a modern app ecosystem needs:
- Chat & Messaging: Supports 1:1 and group chats, with optional voice messaging.
- Social Sign-On: Easily onboard users via social media credentials.
- Push Notifications: Deliver timely messages to drive re-engagement.
- Gamification Tools: Enable coins, badges, unlockable features, and activity-based rewards.
- Digital Asset Integration: Supports user-generated media, NFTs, and token transfers.
- Chatbots: Add interactive bots for customer support, e-commerce, games, or AI assistants like ChatGPT.
- Documents Wallet: Users can securely store and share documents, including those with digital signatures.
Built for Communities and Businesses Alike
Whether you’re managing a fan club, a startup community, an internal team, or a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), Ethora offers unmatched flexibility. Businesses don’t have to invest months into developing chat systems or wallets from scratch. With Ethora, it’s all there, ready to be toggled on or off depending on your needs.
And crucially, as your community grows, Ethora grows with you. You can start on a free tier, move to a business subscription with custom domains and performance enhancements, or opt for a fully dedicated enterprise deployment with 24/7 support, private hosting, and SLAs.
The Ethora Philosophy: Let You Focus on What Matters
Ethora’s most compelling proposition isn’t just technical—it’s philosophical. The platform exists so you can focus on your community, your users, and your mission, not on building foundational features from scratch. As their tagline suggests, it’s like Michelangelo discovering the sculpture already inside the marble—Ethora chisels away the complexity so your app can emerge.
Who Should Consider Ethora?
- Startups launching community apps or loyalty platforms
- Enterprises seeking secure internal communication tools
- DAOs and Web3 projects that need built-in wallet and token capabilities
- Educational platforms that want messaging, document handling, and gamification
- Agencies developing multiple client apps under different brands
Our industry is flooded with single-purpose apps and expensive development cycles. Ethora offers a compelling alternative—a composable, open-source, socially driven engine that combines communication, digital assets, and Web3 functionality in one package. It’s not just a tool. It’s a launchpad.
If you’re building a digital experience from scratch, there’s a good chance Ethora will save you months of development and tens of thousands in costs, while delivering a better user experience from day one.
