# Dialect

## What is Dialect?

Dialect is a smart messaging protocol for dApp notifications and wallet-to-wallet chat. Dialect is powering notifications and messaging for over 15 protocols on Solana. 

## How do Squads Protocol users benefit from this integration? 

We've integrated Dialect to enable web3 notifications directly within the Squads Protocol interface. Squad owners can opt-in to receive notifications regarding proposal updates, confirmation threshold changes, and owner additions/removals from a Squad. For more on Dialect, see their website [here](https://www.dialect.to).

## How to set up notifications?
