With DeSo, users will finally have true ownership and control over their data, their identities, and their relationships. They will be able to choose which applications they use, and they will be able to switch be- tween them seamlessly. Most importantly, they will be able to do all of this without sacrificing privacy or security.
DeSo is the leading blockchain that has been custom-built from the ground up to scale these decentralized social networks. Social applications generate a lot of data that the existing blockchain protocols cannot handle. DeSo is solving this issue by building the first-ever truly decentralized social platform that can scale to billions of users.
The DeSo team is made up of experienced professionals from some of the world’s largest tech companies, including Google, Amazon, and Facebook. They are backed by top VC firms like Sequoia Capital. Nader Al-Naji is the founder of DeSo, a blockchain project that he started work on in early 2019. Nader’s interest in cryptocurrencies began in 2012 when he mined approximately 23 Bitcoin while studying computer science at Princeton University. After that, Nader worked in high frequency trading at D. E. Shaw and as an engineer on the Google Search team prior to raising $133 million for Basis, his previous company which was building a decentralized currency.
The DeSo blockchain is designed to be a more scalable and user-friendly alternative to existing blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. One key feature of DeSo is its use of sharing, which allows the network to process transactions much more quickly than other blockchain networks. The DeSo blockchain is built on the EOSIO protocol, which is the most powerful and efficient blockchain protocol available today. The EOSIO protocol is able to handle millions of transactions per second, which is far more than any other blockchain protocol.
