It is completely decentralized and works like Tor (Onion Routing) while others are centralized or federated.
It is based on the signal messenger, the apps look nearly identical.
And you don't have a phone number or an account login, you just have a long UID that you use like your phone number and a random recovery phrase. It is all about not sending much metadata about you, your phone, etc.

I don't want to seem insensitive to the Iran situation, but how does Session compare to other popular encrypted messaging services?

Seems to be a fork from Signal by oxenio. It's selling point seems to be the crypto currency relation?

Did session and lokinet already have a code security audit or pentest?
