A blockchain which serves as the backbone to empower the development of user-centric social networks.
Privacy Issues
Centralized social networks generate income by infringing on the privacy of their users.
Censorship
Centralized social networks censor users’ contents which are good for our community but bad for the centralized authority.
Desmos fixed these. It empowers the development of user-centric social networks through below designs:
No centralized control
The network is operated by DSM stakers & validators in a decentralized manner based on game theory.
Public & open-source development
Desmos will keep improving through the contribution by the community.
Engagement yield farming
Users can earn DSM by participating in the networks actively.
Decentralized proof of identity
Users can link up their profiles on decentralized and centralized worlds to create their cross-chain Desmos Profiles.
Manage your social identities in one decentralized place.
Cross-platform
Desmos Profile aims to provide proof of identity by linking users’ identities from centralized social networks and different “proof of X” blockchains.
Decentralized verification
Verification of social links will be done on Band Protocol through Themis API in a decentralized way.
Incentivized to become verified
We encourage pseudo-anonymous social networking. But if users link more of their profiles to Desmos Profiles, they will be rewarded.
The initial contributor of Desmos is Forbole, a renowned developer, validator and community builder in various blockchain ecosystems.
