🌐 Website | 📄 Docs | 🐦 Twitter/X | 💬 Telegram Chat | 📢 Telegram Announcements

The decentralized public square on Ethereum.
Short posts. Long articles. Zero indexers. Zero databases. Your words — written directly to the chain and owned by you.

💡 Why This is Different

On-chain by default: Immutable & censorship-resistant content.
Structured for clients: Deterministic IDs, pure view reads, portable data.
No indexer. No DB. Zero admin keys.
Markdown-native posts with images.
Runs without the official site — use any frontend or call the contract directly.

⚡ Features

Usernames, profiles, bios, links, avatars, covers — on-chain.
Create, edit, pin posts with visible history.
On-chain comments & reposts.
Reactions & follow graph in contract state.
Markdown editor with headings, lists, code blocks, images.
Transparent, deterministic reads for UIs.

🛠 On-chain Architecture

Minimal structs: UserBasic, UserProfile, Post, Comment, UserStats.
Deterministic indexing via global and per-user counters.
Key functions: createAccount, createPost, createRepost, createComment, reactToPost, followUser, pinPost.
No privileged owner — only authors can edit/hide their content.
