Indeed from outside STF seem like a pretty strong foundation with a plan lied out and everything, but the reality says a different story… Session is on life support
Session is asking for a community investment of 1million dollars, which i would say is alot considering the short period of time they have left, but not alot considering the size of operations that they have
the STF has received approximately $65,000 in donations. This is enough to maintain critical Session infrastructure for the next 90 days. We are extremely grateful for the support Session has received from the community, but unfortunately this is not sufficient to retain full-time developers. As a result, all paid staff and developers will have their final working day on April 9, 2026. After this date, some team members will continue on a primarily volunteer basis to help maintain Session until July 8, 2026.
If the fundraising is successful, the foundation would be able to continue active development of Session, including launching Session Pro and Session Protocol v2.
If it is unsuccessful, the lack of funding would mean the foundation is not able to support Session in any capacity and will need to be shut down. As a result, Session would be removed from the app stores, and critical infrastructure like the Session file server, push notification server and seed nodes will go offline.
Session plans to donate the rest of the money to the EFF in case this fundraising campaign turns out to be unsuccessful
We also want to assure you that if the STF is unable to secure funding sufficient enough to meet its goals within the next 90 days, any donations that cannot be used in accordance with the STF’s constitution will be publicly donated to the Electronic Frontier Foundation.



Point 1: Your grandpa did not make 150k back then, adjusted for inflation or ppp adjusted inflation.
Point 2: 150k is a completely ridiculous amount, but for 2 people it represents 1/3 of the total pledge asked
This is batshit insane. Tell them to move to Poland or Portugal where you can live comfortably with 1/10th of that money.
