Myriad is a fully decentralized social network that preserves the freedom of expression, the freedom of community and the freedom of choice for its users
Myriad is a fully decentralized social network that aims to reshape the relationship between Users, community operators, and content hosters. It has been carefully designed to address the fundamental problems stemming from private ownership of modern mass communication infrastructures.
Myriad preserves the freedom of expression of all Users, the freedom of community management for all community operators, and the freedom of choice for all content hosters.
Beyond this, Myriad explores new design territory relative to organization of content feeds, social aggregation across platforms, User-driven post quality and spam control, User content monetization, and community governance. These features are built on top of a novel decentralized architecture composed of two protocol layers — a federation of servers and a blockchain — which operate in tandem to preserve User sovereignty while enabling scalability, transparency, and
fully decentralized ownership and management of the platform.
While Myriad is decentralized, it’s not anarchistic. Power is moved from the traditional centralized corporate authority into the hands of individuals who host servers for the platform and manage User Communities. Any person can host Myriad servers or Communities and moderate the content in their own spaces in the way they see fit.
In the same spirit, Myriad is completely transparent. Any User can review the source code of the application and ensure that no special rules are built in to bias one kind of content against another. Any algorithm chosen by a server or community operator to arrange posts for a User is made transparent to the Users of that community
The Myriad platform offers the unique opportunity for a User to transform their social media posts into Non-Fungible Tokens or NFTs, which Myriad calls Social Tokens. These Social Tokens are supported directly on Myriad’s Substrate-based blockchain which support s interoperability. These Social Tokens can then be bridged onto other blockchain ecosystems such as Polkadot or Ethereum to participate in popular DeFicontracts.
Myriad is a web3 layer on top of web2 social media.
It is a decentralized social network that lets you follow content from conventional social media and turns any mainstream social account into a wallet you can send tips to.
It is owned by you, hosted by you, and monetized by you.
