Bluesky, the decentralized social project funded by Twitter's founders, has been renamed the AT protocol and will release the Bluesky App

BlockBeats, Oct. 19. According to Decrypt, Bluesky, the decentralized social project funded by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, has officially announced that it will rename its Protocol from "ADX" to "Authenticated Transport Protocol" (AT Protocol) and provide documentation of the project. AT protocol will be a new federated social network, many sites run the agreement, users can choose between providers, individuals or businesses can choose to self-host. The project's official website is still under construction, and a social-focused Bluesky App will soon be released, which will allow users to join a waiting list based on the AT protocol. The Bluesky team revealed that they have been quietly developing on GitHub since May without much of a social media presence, and that the AT protocol will operate as a decentralized network, independent of the wishes of any one company. This independence would allow users who build social networks on top of the protocol to both protect their private data and avoid the controversy of the company's algorithms indulging users. BlockBeats previously reported that Bluesky is working to build technology that would allow different social media companies to run to the same standard, which would enable developers to build apps that work across platforms and users to easily switch between services.
