Description
Session is a decentralized, end-to-end encrypted messenger that prioritizes user privacy by not requiring a phone number or email for sign-up, instead using anonymous Session IDs. It is built on a decentralized, community-operated network of thousands of nodes, utilizing onion-routed paths (Lokinet) to secure conversations and protect user metadata. The platform is open-source, allowing for public auditing and contributions. Key features include secure group chats, disappearing messages, and user-controlled encryption keys. The ecosystem is stewarded by the Session Technology Foundation, a Swiss non-profit, and is powered by the Session Token (SESH), which incentivizes the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) through staking.
