What is DeSo? DeSo is a new layer-1 blockchain built from the ground up to decentralize social media for billions of users.
We believe in empowering an internet that is creator-led, user-owned, and open to millions of developers around the world.

The ownership of the company is put in the hands of users.

creators have access to monetize their passion and make a living by doing what they love with the new monetization tools.
