Bluesky is building a social protocol. We released “ADX” (the X stood for Experiment) in May. Now that the design is starting to solidify, we’re renaming it to the “Authenticated Transport Protocol” — the “AT Protocol.”
The AT Protocol is a new federated social network. It integrates ideas from the latest decentralized technologies into a simple, fast, and open network.
What’s a “federated” network? It’s a way for servers to communicate with each other – like email. Instead of one site running the network, you can have many sites. Users get a choice of provider, and individuals and businesses can self-host if they want.
What makes the AT Protocol unique:
🔶 Account portability
🔶 Algorithmic choice
🔶 Interoperation
🔶 Performance
🔶 Account portability
A person’s online identity should not be owned by corporations with no accountability to their users. With the AT Protocol, you can move your account from one provider to another without losing any of your data or social graph.
🔶 Algorithmic choice
Algorithms dictate what we see and who we can reach. We must have control over our algorithms if we're going to put trust in our online spaces. The AT Protocol supports open algorithms so users have more control over their experience.
