TechFlow, on November 27, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media this morning announcing he has donated 128 ETH each to two privacy-focused encrypted messaging apps, Session and SimpleX Chat.
Vitalik stated that encrypted communication is crucial for protecting digital privacy, and two key development directions in this field are permissionless account creation and metadata privacy protection. He noted that Session and SimpleX Chat are advancing these areas. He also pointed out that challenges such as decentralization, metadata protection, multi-device support, and Sybil/DoS resistance remain difficult issues requiring more developers to contribute toward improving such privacy communication tools.
