Microblog Protocol
Censorship-resistant speech with community governance
Decentralized microblogging protocols enable Twitter-like functionality without central control. Moderation is community-governed, and creators monetize directly.
How It Works
The decentralized approach
Protocol Posts
Publish to an open protocol that any client can read and display.
Multiple Clients
Choose from dozens of frontends with different features and moderation policies.
Staked Moderation
Community members stake tokens to curate content; bad actors lose stakes.
Direct Monetization
Paid subscriptions, tips, and premium content go straight to your wallet.
The Web3 Experience
Post once, reach everywhere. Your content lives on an open protocol accessible from any compatible app. Build a following that no platform can take away. Monetize through tips, subscriptions, and token-gated content.
