Ecosystem Overview

This overview of the decentralized social ecosystem is structured by protocols, applications, and topics. The protocols and applications directories contain summaries of existing projects. The topics section compares how decentralized protocols handle key topics, and includes relevant projects not covered elsewhere.

Protocols:

Applications:

In the p2p ecosystem, there is sometimes not a clear distinction between protocols and applications, making it unclear what a project encompasses. This diagram attempts to clarify which layer of the stack these p2p projects operate at.

P2p ecosystem

The distinction between protocols and applications is clearer in the federated social ecosystem, where applications follow a familiar client-server model. Diaspora is both the name of the social application as well as the protocol, and Solid does not yet have a social network application.

Federated ecosystem

Topics:

Network structure

  • Federated networks
    • Passing messages between systems
    • Replicating data between systems
  • P2p networks
  • Hybrid

Identity

  • Decentralized identity
  • In federated applications
  • In p2p applications
  • Blockchain identity systems
  • DIDs
  • Key management
  • Reputation, Trust
  • Failure modes:
    • Sybils & spam
    • Impersonation

Data

  • Data models
  • Mutability

Discovery

  • Curation
  • Search

Moderation

  • Community-based
  • User-driven
  • Experimental

Privacy

  • User metadata
  • Private accounts
  • Direct messages

Monetization

  • Application level
  • Provider level
  • Protocol level

Governance

  • Overview of existing models
