We started working full-time on the project in 2021 when [Portman Wills](https://www.linkedin.com/in/portmanwills/) and [Peter Briffett](https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterbriffett/) (the founders of [Wagestream](https://wagestream.com/en/) where I led the engineering team) supported the company very early on, and several other angel investors joined later. In July 2022 SimpleX Chat raised a pre-seed funding from the VC fund [Village Global](https://www.villageglobal.vc) - its co-founder [Ben Casnocha](https://casnocha.com) was very excited about our vision of privacy-first fully decentralized messaging and community platform, both for the individual users and for the companies, independent of any crypto-currencies, that might grow to replace large centralized platforms, such as WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal.

Overall we raised from our investors approximately $370,000 for a small share of the company to allow the project team working full time for almost two years, funding product design and development, infrastructure, and also [the security assessment by Trail of Bits](https://simplex.chat/blog/20221108-simplex-chat-v4.2-security-audit-new-website.html).

The project was hugely supported by the users as well - collectively, [you donated](https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat#help-us-with-donations) over $25,000. Without these donations the investment we raised would not be possible, because we believe that voluntary user donations can sustain the project in the long term – it already covers all infrastructure costs. There are only two ways an Internet service can exist - either users are paying for it, or the users data becomes the product for the real customers, as happened with many large Internet companies. In the latter case the users are losing much more money than they are saving by giving away their privacy and the rights to the content they create on the centralized platforms.

This is called [metadata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata). It reveals a wealth of information about you and your connections, and in the hands of a centralized monopoly, this can and does get misused in incredibly dangerous ways. Once such metadata is logged, it can create very detailed profiles about who you are, everywhere you’ve been, and everyone you’ve ever spoken to. In settling for apps that normalize this while giving you the illusion of privacy in their marketing, we are doing ourselves a disservice by accepting this as the default. Collectively, we aren’t doing enough to protect ourselves and our social graph from this invasive overreach.

When stored, aggregated and analyzed, this metadata provides ample information that could potentially incriminate someone or be submitted to authorities. When WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger enabled end-to-end encryption for messages, of course it was a welcome and widely celebrated change. But it’s important to remember that not all end-to-end encryption utilizes the same standards, [some implementations are more secure](https://simplex.chat/blog/20240314-simplex-chat-v5-6-quantum-resistance-signal-double-ratchet-algorithm.html#how-secure-is-end-to-end-encryption-in-different-messengers) than others, so it’s something that shouldn’t necessarily be accepted at face value.

End-to-end encryption is a solid start, but it's just the beginning of our pursuit for true privacy and security. True privacy means that even when legal demands come knocking, there's no useful metadata to hand over. It's not enough to just protect the content of messages; we need consistent innovation in protecting metadata too.

Changing ingrained habits is tough, but your privacy is always worth the fight. Although giants like WhatsApp and Telegram may dominate global messaging for now, increasing concerns about data harvesting and AI-driven surveillance are fueling demand for alternatives. SimpleX Chat aims to be one of those strong alternatives, hence its radical focus on a decentralized framework with no user identifiers (in other words, nothing that uniquely identifies users on the protocol level to their contacts or to the relays) and extra optionality (self-hosting an [SMP server](https://simplex.chat/docs/server.html) or [XFTP server](https://simplex.chat/docs/xftp-server.html), access via Tor, [chat profiles](https://simplex.chat/docs/guide/chat-profiles.html) with incognito mode, etc.)

As of today, most messaging alternatives, including SimpleX, will have some limitations. But with the limited resources we have, we are committed to daily progress towards creating a truly private messenger that anyone can use while maintaining the features that users have come to know and love in messaging interfaces. We want to be the prime example of a messenger that achieves genuine privacy without compromising it for convenience. We need to be able to reliably move away from small and niche use cases to endorsing and enforcing global standards for privacy and making it accessible for all users regardless of their technical expertise.
