Session

The decentralized private messaging app. Powered by @session_token.

No phone numbers, no central servers. Send messages, not metadata.

Without additional funding, Session's doors will close next month.

Please read this appeal from Session co-founder Chris McCabe.

Thanks to you, the project will live on.

Session now has a clear path forward.

Session is privacy for the people, by the people.

It's building things others won't. It's continuing when others can't. We are united by one common belief: people must have privacy.

[Session @session_app]

Feeling filled with Session spirit.

[Session @session_app]

Still here. Still dedicated to your privacy. Still finding a way forward.

[Session @session_app]

A heartfelt thanks to all the people in the world who have shown love to Session over the last month. It is immensely appreciated by everyone who uses, contributes to, and cares about Session.

We are also extremely grateful to everyone who is continuing to run nodes and provide service to Session users during these uncertain times.

There is still a small team (of volunteers) who are working to keep Session alive. We're pursuing all options open to us to keep Session running as long as possible, but won't do anything which jeopardizes the spirit and intent of the project.

Privacy, secure, and permissionless messaging matters. Still in the ring. ✊

Privacy is not just a narrative.

Privacy is not just a narrative... privacy is THE narrative.

We sat down with @Cryptic_cm, the founder of @session_app, and discussed everything privacy.

They are also in search of funds to continue operating. For those building in the spirit of Satoshi, reach out to them!

We need more than 1 option for private messengers. I don't want to see @session_app disappear, especially now that they have PFS on their roadmap.
I hope that they remain alive.

[Session @session_app]

Your donations have helped, and the Session Technology Foundation (STF) has received enough funding to support critical operations for 90 days.

This means that Session will remain available on the app stores and essential services (such as the file server and push notification server) will stay online until July 8.

For now, further development has been paused, so new features will not be released and emerging or existing bugs may not be immediately fixed. Most likely, there will be no new releases during this period.

Volunteers will continue to keep Session alive for as long as is feasible. However, without proper funding to put towards development, over time Session will fall behind alternatives on usability and (eventually) security.

We are extremely grateful to all the members of the community who have helped Session over the years by running nodes, onboarding their friends, and contributing to the foundation. Thank you to all who have worked with us to defend privacy for the last 8 years.

Currently, it is estimated that USD$1 million is needed to complete the launch and support Protocol v2 (PFS, post-quantum, secure device management) and Pro (ecosystem sustainability). Beyond this, it is hoped the project could stand on its own.

However, without this funding, the final day for Session is July 8. Although we must give this notice now, we will continue doing everything we can to secure more time for Session. If you or someone you know might be able to help, please connect.

If you value privacy, please help our homies over at Session messenger. Yes you may have to skip getting a Venti Caramel Crunch Frapp in a caramel-lined cup, double espresso, 5 vanilla/3 caramel/3 dark caramel pumps, 5 white mocha, 5 vanilla bean scoops, almond milk, double blended, light whip + extra caramel, crumbles & crunch - just one time. It's worth it.

@Igor2071030 Hi Igor, although we understand those models for other apps, it has always been important that Session offered basic privacy and security to users for free.

Optional Session Pro features have been in development for some time, but not launched yet.

[Session @session_app]

@cms_sec This is highly appreciated, thank you :)
