About DeSo / Decentralized Social

DeSo (formerly BitClout) is a Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for decentralized social media and creator economy applications. Unlike general-purpose blockchains, DeSo optimizes specifically for social features including profile creation, content posting, tipping, and social tokens. The DESO token powers the network and is used for transaction fees, content creation, tipping creators, and buying social tokens. DeSo's architecture enables scalable on-chain social applications with sub-second confirmation times. The platform features Creator Coins allowing fans to invest in creators directly, while profiles and content are stored on-chain. DeSo emphasizes creator ownership and reducing dependence on centralized social media platforms. Applications built on DeSo include decentralized Twitter-like platforms, Discord-like communities, and TikTok-like short-form video platforms. Launched in 2021 as BitClout and rebranded to DeSo, the blockchain continues expanding its ecosystem of social applications.
