You don't need to know how Oxen works, beyond the fact that it makes Session anonymous and decentralized.
These nodes are part of Oxen, a decentralized, censorship resistant, trustless network*. Apps communicate through an onion routing network (similar to Tor) comprised of thousands of independent nodes. Session is an anonymous, private, decentralized messaging system.
Signal is a super-secure, centralized messaging service. And that shouldn't be a surprise, since Session began life as a fork of Signal. That could be a description of Signal messenger. Session is an end-to-end encrypted messenger that minimizes sensitive metadata, designed and built for people who want absolute privacy and freedom from any form of surveillance.” Overall we were impressed when testing and researching the product for this new Session messenger review.
I'm glad to say that the team didn't give up, and in fact have made numerous major improvements to their product since that time. Unfortunately, Session wasn't really ready back then. Like many privacy advocates, this is the vision that drew me to try Session messenger more than a year ago. In this world of nosy corporations and government spies, it would be really nice to have a secure, anonymous, decentralized messenger app to communicate with.
