"In principle, I don’t believe anyone should own or run Twitter. It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company. "
— Jack Dorse
What is Shining Protocol?
Shining Protocol is a new foundation for social networking that gives creators independence from platforms, developers the freedom to build, and users a choice in their experience.
Developers can build Twitter and Weibo-like web3 apps based on Shining Protocol.
Shining Protocol is building the next generation of the decentralized web, returning data to users. Anyone is welcome to join.
Shining Protocol was designed to be a public good at the protocol level.
What is the problem Shining Protocol is solving?
Shining Protocol aims to solve the following problems of today's social media.
How many issues does decentralized social may solve?
Access: Registration and login do not require central authorization.
Data ownership: data belongs to users and is not subject to central operations.
Freedom of speech: The central institution cannot interfere with speech.
Today, it's safe to assume that the most powerful Web2 companies like Meta, Alphabet, Twitter, and TikTok won't relinquish control. The only way forward is to rebuild better alternatives to existing social media on top of censor-resistant, decentralized technology stacks.
