Description
DeSo is a pioneering layer-1 blockchain meticulously designed to massively scale decentralized social applications, aiming to accommodate up to one billion users. Its conception emerges from recognizing the limitations of current blockchain technologies, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, in handling the unique demands of social media applications effectively. DeSo distinguishes itself by being custom-built for the decentralized social media sphere, focusing on overcoming scalability issues that hinder wider adoption of decentralized social networks, which stand as a large and potent domain akin to decentralized finance (DeFi). This blockchain is engineered with a specialized infrastructure to support the nuances of social media operations, such as diverse data storage and indexing requirements, which are not adequately met by general-purpose blockchains. DeSo's architecture enables high scalability, low-cost transactions, and supports the direct monetization avenues for content creators through social tokens, establishing a decentralized creator economy free from traditional intermediaries. The DeSo foundation is committed to nurturing the ecosystem, supporting the growth and developm...
