Here we work on a suite of privacy-enhancing technologies, including the Oxen coin which provides privacy in financial transactions, Session which provides privacy in communications, and Lokinet which provides anonymity to the internet. While Session may be a new project in the world of encrypted communications, we’re growing at a steady pace with over 300,000 monthly active users on Session.K: I was studying computer science at a Melbourne-based university in 2017 when I learned about Bitcoin.
Session, at launch still had some bugs, and it was also missing a lot of features people would expect from a messaging application. After another three years of hard work adding new features and improving the Session experience, Session has now reached a point where it is recognized as one of the most private and secure messaging applications.
Privacy-focused communities can be quite skeptical of new entrants into the space. Which is fair. The longer you’re in the space, the more time you have to earn your place, to prove privacy is at the forefront of your mission, and get the respect of the community and your peers. For these people, security is crucial, which is why we have spent so much time ironing out the bugs to ensure Session is a class-leading secure messaging application.
K: A few years ago, in preparation for the development of Session, Oxen transitioned from a proof-of-work Cryptonote blockchain to a first-of-its-kind proof-of-stake Cryptonote blockchain. This means that the Oxen service nodes create new blocks, validate transactions, and secure the network. Oxen’s service node network has also doubled in size over the last 12 months. More nodes mean more decentralization for Session and for Lokinet, and that translates into better security for our users.K: Messaging applications are extremely complex pieces of software, and users have a very low tolerance for errors in messaging applications. This is understandable, when you send a message, you want it to be sent and then received by the recipient, and it’s frustrating when this doesn’t happen.
