About

DeSo (Decentralized Social) is a purpose-built layer-1 blockchain designed to power and scale decentralized social media applications. Unlike general-purpose blockchains, DeSo optimizes for storage-heavy use cases — enabling social graphs, posts, follows, and creator monetization to be stored on-chain at low cost. The DeSo blockchain supports a growing ecosystem of decentralized social apps, including Focus, a crypto-native social network that blends creator monetization with social media. DeSo was founded in 2021 by Nader Al-Naji (formerly known as 'Diamondhands') and is backed by investors including Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures, Pantera Capital, and Polychain Capital, with a $200M treasury supporting ecosystem development.
