Social Graph Protocol
Own your followers, own your content, own your community
Decentralized social protocols store your social graph on-chain, making your connections portable and your content truly yours. Platforms become interchangeable frontends.
How It Works
The decentralized approach
On-Chain Profile
Your identity and social graph live on-chain, accessible from any compatible frontend.
Content as NFTs
Posts, photos, and videos are minted as NFTs you own, with programmable royalties.
Frontend Competition
Multiple apps compete to show your content, each offering different algorithms and features.
Direct Monetization
Fans can tip, subscribe, or buy your content directly with crypto.
The Web3 Experience
Create content once, distribute everywhere. Your followers see your posts on whichever app they prefer. Tips and subscriptions go directly to your wallet. If you don't like an app, switch — your audience comes with you.
Your Value as a User
Own your social graph and take followers anywhere. Earn tokens for engagement and content. Choose algorithms that serve your interests, not advertisers.
