What is Worona?
Worona is a decentralized social networking platform developed as an open-source, transparent alternative to mainstream social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. It is built on blockchain technology which allows user data and content to be stored in a secure, encrypted way across a peer-to-peer network of nodes.
Key features of Worona include:
- User ownership and control over personal data - Information is stored encrypted on the blockchain, not centralized servers
- Censorship resistance - Content cannot be easily removed or blocked by governments or corporations
- Transparency - The platform code is open-source so the algorithms and data practices can be audited
- Digital identity - Users have a persistent, portable identity and social graph they own and control
- Decentralized moderation - Community guidelines and moderation handled by democratic processes, not a central authority
- Cryptoeconomics - Token incentives and rewards encourage participation and decentralization of the network
By building a social platform on peer-to-peer infrastructure, Worona aims to shift power and control away from large, centralized intermediaries that currently dominate social media networks. The goal is to create an open, transparent, censorship-free space for communication and expression online.
