Keychat is inspired by the postal system — stamps, post offices, letters. Keychat uses Bitcoin ecash as stamps and Nostr relays as post offices. Keychat uses Signal/MLS protocol to ensure message encryption security and meta-data privacy.
Yes, I know about Keychat. It still needs to mature some - the deb package is likely for trixie and doesn't work on my Whonix workstation, and the AppImage flickers a lot but at least seems to work. I'm also not really convinced MLS is a good idea. But Keychat is a cool nostr thingy.

That would be great indeed, but only of they remove the mandatory phone number. That is a big no no.

This is really great initiative. Do you have some respond from Signal? Are they interested somehow?

Currently, Signal’s group chats primarily use the Sender Key scheme, rather than the previous pairwise-group approach. The post compromise security of the Sender Keys group is not as strong as that of MLS groups.
