DeSo is a new type of social network that builds from scratch a custom blockchain that users can leverage their influence and content monetization mechanism. Its architecture is similar to Bitcoin, but it has a larger scale and throughput, which can better support complex social media data, such as posts, user profiles, fans, speculative predictions and other functions. And like Bitcoin, DeSo is a completely open source project, there is no company behind it, only tokens and codes.

DeSo is the native cryptocurrency that powers the decentralized social blockchain, a platform designed to support a variety of decentralized social media applications. DESO can be used to purchase "social tokens" and NFTs, and to create profiles and posts for decentralized social applications.
