FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sheridan, Wyoming, United States — November 10, 2026 — Z-TEXT LLC has published the Blockchain Messenger Scorecard 2026, a public comparison of six private messengers rated on eight criteria. Z-TEXT, a blockchain messenger that works without a phone number, email or SIM card, has the highest technology score (26 of 30) and ties for third place overall (28 of 40). With version 5.0.16 now on Google Play, the company has also opened a Founding Member offer: the first 1,000 people to choose Z-TEXT get two years for a one-time payment of $12.
The scorecard rates ADAMANT, Session, Status, Secure Legion, Z-TEXT and Signal (included as a non-blockchain baseline) from 0 to 5 points on six technology criteria and two verifiability criteria. Each score cites a public source. Z-TEXT built the scorecard and rated itself under the same rules.
Overall results, out of 40: Session 31, Signal 29, ADAMANT 28, Z-TEXT 28, Status 27, Secure Legion 23. On technology alone, Z-TEXT ranks first with 26 of 30. Z-TEXT ties for the lowest verifiability score (2 of 10): the app is closed source and has not yet completed an independent security audit, though a public bug bounty is running.
"Privacy should not need a phone number or a monthly bill," said Eric Pierrot, founder of Z-TEXT LLC. "Z-TEXT leads on technology. Now we have to prove it, and our first 1,000 members will hold us to it."
Every new Z-TEXT ID starts with a free first month (60 messages, no credit card). Z-TEXT runs on the BitcoinZ blockchain and uses zk-SNARKs zero-knowledge proofs, AES-256-GCM encryption and a quantum-resistant hybrid key exchange (X25519 + ML-KEM-768). No KYC, calculator disguise, panic PIN and built-in Tor routing.
