Social apps you control (not platforms)

This page is for everyday users.

The problem

On most social platforms:

  • the platform owns your identity and audience
  • moderation and ranking rules change without you choosing them
  • moving to another app often means starting over

What Catalyst enables

Catalyst can support social apps where:

  • your identity can be portable between apps
  • your content and relationships can be yours, not locked to one company
  • you can choose apps that match your preferences without losing everything

You shouldn’t need to understand “blockchains” to get these benefits. A good app will feel like a normal social app—just with better portability and user control.

What you do (as a user)

1) Create an account in your wallet

2) Pick a social app

In the future, this docs site will link to an app directory so you can install apps without thinking about the underlying network.

For now: use whichever Catalyst-enabled social app you trust and enjoy.

3) Verify activity (optional)

If you ever need an audit trail (for example, “did I post / did I follow / did I pay?”), explorers can provide public verification.

Safety reminder

If you lose your wallet backup, you can lose access to accounts and assets. Follow your wallet’s backup guidance carefully.
