Connor speaks with Chris McCabe and Kee Jefferys, co-founders of Session, a decentralized messaging platform that prioritizes user privacy and security.

Built on a decentralized network and powered by blockchain technology, Session fosters a self-sovereign communication experience where users don’t have to trust the platform. The conversation explores Session’s organic user acquisition strategies, the role of the Session token in its ecosystem, and how the platform balances privacy with usability, highlighting its commitment to a secure, surveillance-free future for messaging.
