Session
A Signal protocol fork with decentralized servers and no need for a phone number
Session is a cross-platform, anonymous and decentralized messaging application. You don't need a phone number or email address to make an account.
Session uses the Loki Service Node network to route the data, for which the nodes are rewarded with $LOKI. The Loki Network itself is made up of some ~1000 community operated Service Nodes where 44% of the supply is held in the SNs - about US$7.5 million at the moment.
I love Signal, but I don't love the attached phone numbers or central servers, but I know there's a challenge in allowing an altruistic intention over a financial incentive for the node operators - Sybil resistance. By using Loki's Service Node network, the crypto-economics is designed in a way that a bad actor would drive the price exponentially up while trying to accumulate enough Loki to be able to perform any traffic analysis on the routed data.
Think of it as a Signal fork meets a Monero fork meets an incentivized TOR network.
