It is similar to NIP-38, with the exception that gift-wrap is used on every message, and issues like metadata leakage and optional forward secrecy are addressed. It works by creating a shared secret that is used to encrypt the group or channel messages. Only the participants know that secret, so only such members can read/write to this group chat. This effectively hides metadata from external users. See drawbacks below.
