Telegram clients are open source. I downloaded and built MacOS version recently - it was very straightforward. https://telegram.org/apps#source-code https://telegram.org/apps#source-code Encryption for secret chats doesn't involve server, so technically it can be analyzed.

I would gladly participate if somebody started a crowd-funding for Telegram's security and encryption audit.
