dAmn (deviantART messaging network) is the name of the real-time chat system implemented on deviantART version 4.
It is based on a proprietary protocol and chat server application, and is not compatible with other chat systems. The client end is a simple Flash application for server communication, and a JavaScript backend to handle the messages.
Only hours after the release of dAv4 (deviantART version 4) and dAmn, the protocol had been reverse engineered and publicized. The same night, a first working Perl client was made available.
