The only way you would know there is a blockchain involved is by reading the white paper or looking at the code. There are is no currency or token involved when using the app. I don't understand your last sentence at all.

I think session has some advantages over signal. Such as onion routing, not needing to interact with centralised servers, and not requiring a phone number.

Not who you're asking, on a technical aspect, briar is p2p so the recipient must be online in order to send them a message, there's no server to queue and send the message when the recipient comes online. This affects UX quite a bit as well.
