Our Final Appeal:
Session is shutting down in 90 days
We had hoped this day would never come, but Session has now entered its final 90 days of operation. If we are unable to reach our funding goal within this period, the Session Technology Foundation (STF) will be forced to shut down.
To date, the STF has received approximately $65,000 in donations. This is enough to maintain critical Session infrastructure for the next 90 days. We are extremely grateful for the support Session has received from the community, but unfortunately this is not sufficient to retain full-time developers. As a result, all paid staff and developers will have their final working day on April 9, 2026. After this date, some team members will continue on a primarily volunteer basis to help maintain Session until July 8, 2026.
This is our final appeal to the Session community: without your support, the STF will cease all operations on July 8, 2026.
We understand this may come as a shock. From the outside, Session appears to be a successful and growing app - with millions of downloads, strong app store ratings, and continued growth, recently surpassing 1.7 million monthly active users. However, Session's success has only been possible because of the dedicated contributors and teams who work tirelessly to improve it every day. These are highly skilled developers and architects of decentralized systems, and like everyone they have bills to pay, and families to feed.
