None (1) · Free and open source. Run by the non-profit Tor Project, funded by grants (historically including US-government sources such as the State Department and NRL) plus individual donations. Funding is not control here: the code is public, reproducible, and independently audited. (1) · Free, no ads, no paid tiers.

description:
None (2) · End-to-end encrypted 1:1 and group messaging, plus voice/video calls, built on the audited Signal Protocol (Double Ratchet + X3DH). ~40M monthly users. Registration requires a phone number; usernames (added 2024) let you start chats without sharing it. (1)
usage notes:
None (3)
rejected alternatives:
None (1) · Custodial crypto processors like Coinbase Commerce and BitPay: they take crypto but hold funds and impose KYC, reintroducing exactly the operator-freeze risk that self-custody removes. If the goal is deplatform resistance, a custodial crypto gateway gives up the main advantage. (1) · WhatsApp (uses the Signal protocol but is Meta-owned and harvests metadata) and Telegram (chats are not end-to-end encrypted by default, weaker crypto). (1)
