CHAPTER 01: Welcome


THE SOCIAL LAYER OFCRYPTO HAS ARRIVED

DeSo is the first layer-1 blockchain built from the ground up to decentralize
social media and scale storage-heavy apps to billions of users. Read the vision.

THE FIRST BLOCKCHAINTHAT CAN DISRUPTSOCIAL MEDIA

THE ONLY BLOCKCHAIN THAT CAN POWER STORAGE-HEAVY APPLICATIONS

Social applications generate a lot of data, and existing blockchains are not
equipped to store & index that data.

DESO UNLOCKS THE NEXT FRONTIER FOR BLOCKCHAIN INFRASTRUCTURE

DeSo was built from the ground up to scale one of the biggest untapped markets
for blockchain: Social Media.

100% OPEN-SOURCE & 100% ON-CHAIN PERMISSIONLESS DATA

100% of all code & data are completely open. All posts and social graphs on DeSo
are stored directly on-chain.

CHAPTER 02: Learn


GO BEYOND DEFI WITH DESO

DeSo is the only blockchain that can power storage- heavy (infinite-state)
applications by combining financial primitives with cheap content storage.

Build On DeSo
Build On DeSo


 * DEFI BLOCKCHAINS ARE FINITE-STATE
   
   
   
   Finite-state apps, like DeFi, use blockchains that can only power
   storage-light (finite-state) applications, where data and storage stay
   constant with each transaction. With this approach for social, every
   interaction — post, like, follow, etc — would cost you $0.15+.
   
   THE DESO BLOCKCHAIN IS INFINITE-STATE
   
   
   
   Infinite-state applications generate new data with every transaction that has
   to be stored and indexed. For example, social apps generate data with every
   post, like, follow, etc… DeSo is the only blockchain that can power next-gen
   applications like this.

 * COMPARE THE COSTS OF STORING 200 CHARACTERS (LESS THAN A TWEET)
