The Social Blockchain that Scales
Why DeSo? One word: Scale. It’s the only blockchain custom-built to scale decentralized social apps.
The vision
Existing Blockchains Can’t Scale Social Apps
Social applications generate a lot of data, and existing blockchains are not equipped to store and index it.
DeSo Unlocks The Next Frontier for Blockchain
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 open data
100% of all code and data are totally open, and all content is stored directly on-chain.
Featured App

100% Open-source
Every single line that powers the DeSo blockchain is 100% open-source, unlike traditional social media’s closed-source walled-gardens.
100% On-Chain Open Data
Every profile, post, like, and comment is stored directly on the DeSo blockchain. When you run a node on DeSo you get access to the full firehose of content forever.
Native on-Chain Features
On-Chain Profiles
Every user's profile is stored on-chain and is solely controlled by the user's private keys, making your identity portable between all apps in the DeSo ecosystem.
Social NFTs
NFTs minted on DeSo are associated with the artist's profile, and can be shown off on the buyer's profile, enhancing provenance while making them inherently social, and more valuable.
Social Tokens
Every profile created on DeSo can have a social token attached to it. Social tokens on DeSo earn cashflows from NFT sales, and soon all forms of creator monetization.
Social Tipping aka "Diamonds"
Because DeSo is a blockchain, it's never been easier to integrate money-native features like tipping into your app. Tips can be integrated directly with content, e.g. allowing users to give "diamonds" to posts rather than just "likes."
On-Chain Posts
Every post and reply is stored and indexed directly on-chain, meaning that your content is portable across all apps in the DeSo ecosystem. If one app's algorithms aren't showing you love, there are thousands of others that will instead!
And much more...
The DeSo core development team is relentlessly focused on using the power of blockchain to create as many new ways for creators to monetize as possible. And because DeSo is an open platform, every new feature becomes instantly available to thousands of developers who will invent new products we've never seen before.
Where to Buy
$DESO’s supply is fixed at ~10.8 million coins
$DESO was distributed via a bonding curve, with over 44,000 purchases and no one entity owning more than 5% of the supply other than founders, who collectively own less than 20%.
Supported by the DeSo Foundation
The DeSo blockchain is supported by the non-profit DeSo Foundation, whose broad mission is to support the decentralization of social media. The foundation is led by crypto veteran Nader Al-Naji (@nader, @nadertheory), with a $200 million treasury behind it to support its mission.
