Chat empty state and Start One menu need clearer recipient guidance #6

Description

@chopperdaddy

Summary

The Chat page empty state is clean but vague. It does not explain who/what can be messaged or what happens after clicking Start one.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Continue as Guest
  2. Go to Chat
  3. Observe empty state
  4. Click Start one

Current behavior

Empty state:

You don't have any conversations yet.
Start one

The menu includes:

  • New Direct Message
  • New Group
  • chat with floored Bot
  • chat with Bankr Bot

UX concern

A new user does not know whether they can message wallets, ENS names, floored profiles, collection holders, bots, or groups. The bot options are actionable but lack context about what each bot does.

Suggested improvement

Change empty state to something like:

No conversations yet
Start a private chat with a wallet, profile, collector, or bot.

CTA:

New message

Add option subtitles:

  • New Direct Message — Message a wallet or profile
  • New Group — Start a chat with multiple people
  • floored Bot — Ask about floored
  • Bankr Bot — Market/trading assistant

Also clarify guest wallet persistence near CHAT ACCOUNT: GUEST WALLET:

Messages are tied to this guest wallet. Connect a wallet to keep access across devices.

Priority

Medium-high.
