Description
FUTO is an organization dedicated to developing, both through internal engineering and investment, technologies that frustrate centralization and industry consolidation. Our work consists of a combination of in-house engineering projects, targeted investments, generous grants, and multi-media public education efforts. Polycentric is an open-source distributed social network that lets users own their identity. The app gives communities a place to gather, post, and converse across a network of independent servers, with no single entity in control of the conversation. Polycentric gives users full sovereignty over their data, identity, and reach. The app is built on a distributed protocol where users choose which servers to interact through. Core features include self-sovereign cryptographic identity, community-centric topic feeds, censorship-resistant publishing, ownership of your own likes and follows, and cross-platform identity linking. We are looking for developers to help us with the upcoming launch of Polycentric.
