Twitter’s subsidiary Bluesky, which was announced in 2019, had begun the process of developing a decentralized social networking protocol, which is its goal this year. The company, which aims to create an open-source protocol for blockchain-based social networks, has today published the first codes of its system, which it calls ‘Authenticated Data Experiment (ADX – Authenticated Data Experiment)’.
Bluesky CEO Jay Graber stated in his statement that the new system, whose code has been published, will be the beginning of the semi-public development process. While the CEO urged developers to tamper with the new system, he warned them not to try to develop ‘the next big social media app’ on it for now. Graber emphasized that the published system is not yet complete.
Data will be stored in user-owned warehouses:
ADX, developed by Bluesky, will not be a single, independent social network design. Instead, it will be a protocol built around user-controlled ‘Personal Data Stores’ that social network developers ‘choose to support’. Thus, the data will not be in the hands of social media platforms as it is today’s standard and will live in the Personal Data Repository owned by the user.
On the other hand, it is not known how much Twitter, which has now been in the hands of Elon Musk, will adopt Blusky. “Twitter’s funding of Bluesky has no conditions but one: Bluesky’s research and development of technologies that enable open and decentralized public speaking,” Bluesky said in a statement following the acquisition. made his statements.
