What is DeSo?
DeSo is the first layer 1 blockchain custom-built to scale Decentralized Social Media Applications to billions of users.
Is DeSo built on another blockchain?
No, DeSo has its own separate layer 1 blockchain. It is not built on the Bitcoin blockchain, Ethereum blockchain or any other blockchain.
Is DeSo the same thing as Bitclout?
No, Bitclout was just the first proof of concept app built on DeSo. DeSo was designed to have a global community of developers building on top of it. Today there are over 100+ applications that are live on DeSo.
Many of these apps have more engagement and a better UX than the original Bitclout App.
Can’t you just build Decentralized Social Media Apps on Ethereum, Solana or Avalanche?
Unfortunately, these other “general purpose” blockchains cannot scale Decentralized Social Media Applications because they weren’t built to support the unique storage/indexing requirements that Social Media Apps require.
