Recent Notes
are community credits redeemable unilaterally on-chain? i.e. is there a unilateral exit?
Yes, the party that holds the redeemed note can withdraw unilaterally.
The note lifecycle is: purchase -> assign -> redeem -> withdraw. Each step changes the party, and this party can perform the next step.
Exit happens at withdrawal. The number of parties that can withdraw (and can be the recipient at redeem step) is limited and known - that's the core requirement of closed loop/limited network.

To ensure SimpleX Network independence, we created a non-profit SimpleX Network Foundation!

The Network Consortium seems quite similar to XMTP. https://xmtp.org
Both managed top-down. Controlled federation?
SimpleX Network is not federated. Consortium is an agreement, it's not an entity - it's purpose is licensing and governance of IP, it doesn't control who uses or participates in a network.

Freedom of speech needs infrastructure that protects it by design - protocols, governance and funding.
v6.5 release brings SimpleX Channels: a new model for online publishing built for participation privacy:
- channel owners hold their own channel keys,
- each channel uses multiple relays for reliability,
- publishers can run their own chat relays,
- channels can be added to our SimpleX Directory (https://simplex.chat/directory).

Good work. Are you going to implement chat relays for normal groups next?
Yes, and in the basic form it's very close. Some user already experimented with relay-based group by changing one line of code (literally) - most of the work for basic function is already done in the foundation of chat relay code.

We updated SimpleX Chat Privacy Policy and Conditions.
What changed:
Stronger privacy commitments:
- explicitly states that preset servers do not log IP addresses.
- you can verify clients and servers via reproducible builds.
quantum-resistant end-to-end encryption.
- messages are irreversibly removed from preset servers on delivery or after 21 days.
- transparency commitment by client apps.
New private one-time connection links and public addresses:
- your profile data is encrypted on the server - only people with the link can access it, not the servers.
- one-time link profile data is removed once the connection is established.
Public channels (beta):
- chat relays are used to deliver messages to channel subscribers.
- chat relays cannot identify subscribers.
Commit with the change: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/commit/05f99634c470f8bddac20046947a0606938b22ad (we maintain it in GitHub so you can track changes).

SimpleX doesn't work in Russia. Session is blocked too. Seems like it was much easier to block than Telegram (they're trying right now and it still works). SimpleX depends only on it's own infrastruct...
It appears Telegram also does not work without VPN in Russia.
We will be implementing connection rotation and redundancy it may reduce the impact. In any case, preventing transport-level blocking is a hard problem, especially if they start using LLM for traffic analysis. It is better to solve it in dedicated VPN solutions, not in the apps.
