Bastyon

An open-source social network and video platform powered by the Pocketnet blockchain. Publishing, messaging and video run on distributed nodes instead of one company's servers, and the built-in PKOIN economy rewards creators, node operators and stakers.

There are many reasons to use Bastyon.

No KYC LoginYou log in with a key, not an account. No identity check, no documents and no waiting for approval.
No Server LoginThere is no account on a company server — everything runs between your device and the network.
No Phone NumberNo phone number is collected or verified, so there is nothing to lose in a SIM swap or a data leak.
No EmailNo email address is required and no confirmation link is sent — you are never added to a mailing list.
No Personal DataThe only thing you choose is a name. No address, no date of birth and no identity document.
Decentralized VideoVideo is distributed across many participants instead of one server, so popular clips are not served from a single point.
Censorship ResistantContent is mirrored by independent nodes, so no single operator can quietly take it down.
PseudonymousYour activity is tied to a public key and a chosen name, not to your real-world identity.
Free SpeechOpen participation is built in: no central gatekeeper decides who is allowed to publish.
Self-CustodyYour account is a cryptographic key that stays with you. Lose it and no support desk can restore it.
Distributed NetworkContent is stored and delivered by a network of independent nodes rather than a single data centre.
Open SourceThe client, the node software and the block explorer are public on GitHub — anyone can read, fork or self-host them.
Get Paid for Your ContentCreators can earn from their channels, with payouts in PKOIN.
Stake & EarnHold PKOIN in a node wallet to take part in Proof-of-Stake and collect block rewards.
Run a Node & EarnAnyone can run an Easy or Full node, host the network and earn PKOIN for it.
No Central ServerThere is no single server that can be switched off to take the whole platform down.
Free to UseJoining, posting and watching are free — you only ever pay network fees when you choose to.
