# Why EMS?

While the current method of messaging on the Blockchain exists and works well, there are always ways to improve upon something. The foundation is there and EMS is the epitome of "if it's not broken don't fix it" as we have made it easier-than-ever to use. With an easy-to-use UI, the fundamentals remain the same while the process has become one hundred times easier.&#x20;

There are several advantages to using Ethereum Message Service:

## Security

Blockchain technology offers a high degree of security due to its decentralized nature and use of cryptographic algorithms. This means that your messages and data are less likely to be intercepted, tampered with, or hacked compared to traditional messaging services that rely on a central server.

## Privacy

With blockchain messaging, you can have greater control over your personal data and privacy. Since the blockchain operates on a decentralized network, there is no central authority or server that stores your messages and data. Instead, the data is distributed across a network of nodes, and only the intended recipients have access to it.

## Ease of use

While some blockchain messaging services may have a learning curve, they can ultimately be easier to use than traditional messaging services. Since the technology is decentralized, there may be fewer barriers to entry, and users can communicate directly with each other without the need for intermediaries or complicated sign-up processes.

## Innovation&#x20;

Using a new blockchain messaging service can provide an opportunity to explore new features and capabilities that are not yet available on traditional messaging services.&#x20;
