SimpleX Chat

To ensure SimpleX Network independence, we created a non-profit SimpleX Network Foundation! The board: @HeatherMeeker4, Matt Odell (primal.net/odell), @TadeasKmenta, @epoberezkin simplexnetwork.org/consortium.html

@dehub_official @science_genial We have zero overreach from our VCs. VCs are a source of advice, useful introductions and connections. "Overreach" only happens if you get money from wrong VCs that operate as PE funds in disguise. And there is nothing unfair in raising from VCs, no need for virtue signalling.

@SimpleXChat @science_genial Our founders made their own funding, raised from real users in fair public sales and generated millions in Q1 revenue to build their roadmap free from the overreach of VCs. The future belongs to decentralized alternatives, funded fairly.

SimpleX Chat can't and won't scan private chats, ever. It's not just a promise, it's a technical impossibility.

@HalesFall If it's a public channel, you can add it to simplex.chat/directory/ - more people will discover it! This directory will be integrated into the app soon-ish. Also, it's 2 lines of HTML to make a channel into a page like that: simplex.chat/news/

Our Project has a Hierarchy of Truth: 1. Signed Messages on Ethereum Mainnet 2. SimpleX Broadcast Channel (or Signal*) 3. Website 4. Discord / Twitter Crypto projects get cucked all the time. Their socials get hacked to post scam links. And even when they use hardware security keys, they still must rely on Discord & Twitter to enforce that security--but some exploits bypass authentication itself. We find that quite donkey, as such events can not only Rekt™ our users, but interferes with our Ranked Ecosystem which we measure as close to Merit as possible. For critical announcements, you can easily cross-reference against our Hierarchy of Truth for confirmation. The first is self-explanatory. Next is @SimpleXChat, which provides strong security guarantees compared to all other social media as there's no account to hijack. Accounts don't even exist. Our SimpleX Broadcast Channel lives on a dedicated security hardened device that even Cellebrite & Graykey have trouble breaking (as per public leaks). * @signalapp , which requires a phone number, is also strong but less so. Should a sim-swap attack occur, so long as the device continues pinging online with Registration Lock enabled, you will retain control of the account. The main benefit of Signal is its far more reliable to both iOS + Android users.

@science_genial sorry, it was shared before :)

@science_genial We have ROI expectations - we strongly believe that privacy will be a mainstream requirement soon, and that providing private communications is a viable business – this is a structural thesis that our investors support. This is a relevant post: poberezkin.com/posts/2023-10-…

@bobross_malware 100%

@SimpleXChat Is it open source?

@science_genial Building technology requires funding. Some writing on that: poberezkin.com/posts/2023-10-… Control is more important than funding sources.

@SimpleXChat Why are you VC funded?

Misspelled the name - Alain Brenzikofer, sorry!

We published the whitepaper about Community Credits - a closed loop prepaid payment system to fund servers and client application in decentralized SimpleX network. Alain Brenzikoher @brenzi5 presented it at @Web3summit: SimpleX Community Credits: Making Privacy Profitable.

@RestoreSFT @Techjunkie_Aman You confused it with Session maybe?

@Techjunkie_Aman Last I saw, @SimpleXChat was closing down 🤷🏻‍♂️

Every messaging app wants one thing. Your identity. • Phone number • Username • Email SimpleX asks for... None of them. Here's why that's one of the biggest innovations in messaging 🧵

Thank you! Every network of the last 150 years starting from telegraph shared one design decision: to use the network, you identify yourself to the operator. But this was never a law of nature - it was an engineering convenience from an era when routing required a directory, and connections were expensive. The problem with directory-based routing is that directory owner becomes a super-attractive target for cybercrime, over-regulation (because doing what's legally required is more risky than doing more) and data brokers (because selling our data is more profitable than creating value). We just did it differently - we removed the root cause of all these problems from the network design. With us rapidly moving to the world when there will be 10-100x more agents online than people, procuring information and services for us, directory-based routing won't be able to provide minimally-necessary security and privacy. We're building network for that future. And this is a less technical explanation of network philosophy: simplex.chat/why/

Every messaging app promises privacy. Then it asks for your phone number. Or your email. Or a username. Or at least a permanent user ID. In 2019, developer Evgeny Poberezkin looked at this and thought, "What if the identifier is the real privacy problem?" Instead of building yet another encrypted messenger, he spent years designing one that doesn't assign users any identity at all. No phone numbers. No usernames. Not even random IDs that can be tracked across conversations. That project became SimpleX Chat, one of the most ambitious open-source messaging platforms built today. Features: • No phone number, email, or username • No persistent user IDs • End-to-end encrypted messaging • Metadata protection, servers can't map your social graph • Audio & video calls • Incognito profiles • Disappearing messages • Encrypted file sharing • Self-host your own relay servers • Android, iPhone, Windows, macOS & Linux • Fully open source Most apps encrypt what you say. SimpleX is trying to hide the fact that you ever had a conversation in the first place.

Proponents of allowing solo PQ, a weakened version of ECC+PQ, have been posting various talking points recently to the IETF TLS mailing list. I've posted a quick guide to those talking points: nsa.2026.action.cr.yp.to/guide.html

About to publish the whitepaper about Community Credits design simplex.chat/credits Another very useful application of zk-proofs is BBS anonymous credentials scheme - it allows to prove having some credential without presenting it in full, and only disclosing some non-sensitive details.

I haven’t heard anyone mansplaining useful applications of zero-knowledge proofs since the token prices stopped Ponziing

It's such an amazing time to be alive. I've wired @SimpleXChat to @ollama with pi.dev. I've created a dozen agent roles that I would like to chat with, with different skills (social, soft, and technical). Completely private and secure chats with each.

@cqwww @ollama Great. Are you using live messages to stream agents' responses?

@ODELLXYZ @nvk @epoberezkin From v7-beta other people can be made contributors in channels.

@nvk its a broadcast channel not a group i think @epoberezkin plans to add comments but right now its just emoji reactions

created a simplex channel, basically a private version of telegram, adds redundancy if website goes down, and notifications: #pnthhrx5BfdJEdTJ6QOEhEJ6g-hdwuOiMEFu6dpj3cQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">smp4.simplex.im/c#pnthhrx5BfdJ…

@fratCLVB That's a scam and copyright infringement, we have nothing to do with it.

$SIMPLEX launched around SimpleX Chat — a real privacy messaging protocol. someone decided it needed a memecoin and to funnel fees back to the project. "ill be with u guys until we get a claim this narrative is too good they need funding" — that's the pitch. $SIMPLEX at 36K mcap, 8 wallets, 99.2 SOL extracted so far. 🧾👇

No, you can't tokenize it, it would be infringement of our trademark and violation of US security laws. We have a plan how this network and app can generate revenue, while remaining free to most users. We're preparing equity crowdfunding, so that users can own a share of the network for real (not some token with unclear value). You can register your interest here: simplexchat.typeform.com/crowdfunding, there will be updates very soon. And a mandatory disclaimer: SimpleX Chat is testing the waters for a possible Reg CF offering. We’re not asking for or accepting any money right now, and we won’t accept any if sent. We can’t accept any offers to buy securities or take any payments until the official filing is done and it’s live through a regulated platform. Our testing the waters and your possible indications of interest doesn’t create any obligation or commitment of any kind.

someone built a messaging app with ZERO user identifiers. no phone number. no email. no username.whatsapp knows who you talk to. telegram knows your number. signal still needs your phone.simplex knows nothing. they literally can't track what doesn't exist.double-ratchet e2e encryption. open source. free. ios, android, desktop.1,470 ⭐ in a single day. 13.2k total.this is what private messaging actually looks like 👇 @SimpleXChat bro your project is too good to be free . can i tokenize it? real token, real liquidity, your team owns the treasury. we turn your users into holders and your holders into an army. say less and i'll send the deck 📷
