DeGram - Decentralized Social Media Application

Abstract

Decentralized social media is a social media platform that aims to transform the social networking platforms. This solution defines development of the decentralized social media platform. Using distributed ledger technology, smart contracts, and peer-to-peer networks, a platform was built that redistributes control and data ownership to users while avoiding the risks of censorship, data leaks in day-to-day social media. Through feedback, advantages of the decentralized model were showcased like enhanced privacy, reduced content manipulation, and resistance to centralized control of user content. By placing the ownership and governance of social networks into the hands of the community,a way for a more transparent, and user-centric digital social media application is paved.
