Session is a non-profit, decentralised private messaging application with +1m MAU that
onion routes messages using the Session Node network. This network is powered by the Oxen
blockchain consisting of community operated nodes that can trustlessly escrow stake to
join the network and execute the Session messaging protocol. Operator stakes are escrowed
by smart contracts, penalised for bad quality-of-service and are rewarded for routing
messages.

anonymised Session Pro certificates and privacy-preserving payment systems that interfaced
with the iOS and Google storefronts.
