Description
Scuttlebutt is a decentralized social networking protocol that prioritizes privacy, offline functionality, and mesh networking, operating without a central server and utilizing a peer-to-peer network to spread messages. It allows users to connect directly with friends, ensuring data is only shared with intended recipients, and supports the creation of a wide range of applications, including social networks, collaborative tools, and community platforms. Unique for its ability to function without internet access, using local networks or physical transports for message exchange, Scuttlebutt is resilient in scenarios ranging from remote locations to environments with restricted or surveilled internet access. It champions user privacy, data sovereignty, and decentralization, key web3 principles, and fosters a decentralized secure gossip platform that emphasizes the importance of personal connections and mutual dependence among users for data resilience, encapsulating a movement away from corporate cloud dependency towards a model of radical interdependence and reconnection on a human level.
