Status: privacy-focused super-app powered by Logos Messaging

In attempt to be more platform-agnostic, we are dedicating more effort to evaluating the Status app and investigating potential integrations with the Logos ecosystem.

Status has a very different architecture from other freedom tech apps like Session and SimpleX. It is built on top of Logos Messaging (formerly the Waku network), which consists of relays and storage nodes, and employs rate-limiting nullifier (RLN) to mitigate DoS attacks. Following an eight-year development journey since its 2017 ICO, Status has recently shipped a new unified super-app that integrates a crypto wallet, a web3 browser, and a privacy-focused messenger.

You can get the new mobile app on Android and iSlave through legacy app stores, and it should hit F-Droid soon. Unfortunately, no direct APK downloads for now, but you can grab the new desktop app from the official website.

On our end, Spasm-powered forums are running on Spasm and Nostr right now, and we're planning to add more networks later this year. But the expansion requires careful consideration of practical use cases and the development of robust integration architectures. For example, the Spasm network is the backbone of the Spasm ecosystem based on highly customizable, federated message propagation system across many instances, while the Nostr network provides a more centralized-ish solution for an offchain social graph, allowing people to follow each other via Nostr apps.

As we continue our research into leveraging Logos Massaging for Spasm forums to bridge these two ecosystems, we'd love you to test out the Status app with us and share your experience, feedback, ideas, or questions. The Logos team already answered many questions about its messaging network last year, which you can read in [another post](https://zkpunks.dev/news/spasmid01077e4712459dafc005ed6ca59f4d33f0ba58516591e71784b79ad767410e2cb3).

While Status isn't perfect, no app is, it's a solid tool for anyone looking to unplug from slave tech.
