Status

Open-source secure messenger and crypto wallet

Overview

Status delivers a secure, open-source platform that combines a decentralized messenger, a crypto wallet, and community spaces to access web3 apps. It runs on mobile and desktop, emphasizes privacy and user control, and invites contributions from the community under the Institute of Free Technology (IFT) with a native token SNT that can be staked. It combines messaging, wallet, and communities in a single decentralized stack, set apart by its community-driven governance and development rather than centralized control. Its goal is to help people communicate securely, manage digital assets, and participate in online communities with strong privacy and rights in the web3 space.
