Why you should listen to Session

Session is a privacy-focused messaging app designed for users who want true anonymity and secure communication—without compromise.

If you're looking for a truly anonymous and secure messaging app, you should check out Session. It's a privacy-focused instant messaging app designed for users who want to communicate freely, openly, and without compromise.

Unlike mainstream messaging apps that require phone numbers or email addresses to sign up, Session users can simply generate a random ID to begin chatting. This removes the link between your identity and your conversations.

Session is built on the Oxen privacy network and uses onion routing (similar to Tor) to protect your metadata and ensure your messages are never stored or routed through centralized servers.

It offers encrypted one-on-one and group chats, voice and video calls, file sharing, and disappearing messages. It’s also cross-platform, open-source, and community-driven. The app runs on a decentralized network powered by incentivized nodes, which enhances resilience against censorship, server failures, and surveillance.

Session will launch its token, $SESH, on May 21, 2025. The Token Generation Event (TGE) coincides with the official launch of the new Session Network on mainnet.

Session has attracted over one million monthly active users, making it one of the most popular dApps in crypto. It runs on a purpose-built DePIN network of over 2,000 nodes, enabling a unique feature set that offers total privacy and anonymity.

Underpinning the decentralized network is the ecosystem’s native token, $SESH, which is used to reward its community for storing and routing Session messages, and keeping the Session Network running smoothly and securely.

The maximum token supply of SESH is 240 million, with up to 80 million tokens unlocked at TGE.

Over 13 million people have downloaded Session, which is viewed as a vital tool for protecting free speech, including for journalists, activists, and other people working in civil society.
