Directly connecting nodes creates a decentralized network where information can flow freely and without interference. However, overly free information flow doesn't necessarily lead to a better social network. If we cannot break the vicious cycle of bad drives out good, decentralized social networks may just become another social network.

Information that is immutable greatly enhances its trustworthiness, just like data stored in a blockchain that cannot be tampered with. When consensus is formed, trust is naturally established.

Data fingerprints ensure information cannot be tampered with, while digital signatures guarantee traceability and non-repudiation. Nodes that receive suspicious information can trace and review the attacker's basic node information, historical statements, community behavior history, Ethereum assets, and on-chain behavior to assess the credibility of the information source. Tracing also enables visualizing the propagation path, making it easier for the public to identify false and harmful information spread by malicious attackers, reducing the cost of identifying harmful information. As information can be traced, is immutable and undeniable, people will be more cautious when publishing information, indirectly increasing the proportion of high-quality information and promoting a virtuous cycle of information.

Traceable, Immutable, and Non-repudiable

Identifying Each Piece of Information

This mechanism should be able to suppress the generation and dissemination of false and harmful information, reduce the cost of identifying false and harmful information for everyone, and promote the dissemination of valuable information while minimizing the generation and dissemination of false and harmful information, thus achieving a virtuous cycle.

Each piece of information is identified with a unique immutable ID called a data fingerprint, generated using the SHA256 hash algorithm. Information publishers sign the data fingerprint with their Ethereum wallet, and only information with a valid signature can circulate in the network.

Realizing an Immutable and Traceable Information Network

Attribution of information that cannot be repudiated also enhances its trustworthiness, just like a signature on a legal document in real life. By confirming the non-repudiation of attribution, trust can be enhanced.

Direct connection and communication between nodes can solve most problems, but some issues still require the involvement of third parties to solve, such as a public space provided by a third party that can help two unconnected nodes discover each other.

Third-Party Services

Mainstream social networks provide verification services similar to Twitter's <bluecheck> Bluecheck</bluecheck> to identify that the account belongs to a real entity or a public figure, to prevent impersonation. At epress, you no longer need additional identity verification services. Since each node can be accessed using its own domain name, nodes can use SSL certificates to prevent fraud. The public can verify whether a node is fraudulent by checking its SSL certificate.

SSL Certificates are the Best Verification

Providing Signatures for Circulation

The clearer the source of information, the higher its trustworthiness. Information that cannot be traced will be exploited by malicious attackers who can spread false and harmful information within the network without bearing any losses.

The value of information is relative, and its value may vary for different people or for the same person at different times. There is no unified quantitative standard for it. However, valuable information has one commonality - trust, which is the premise of all value.

Verify whether the information has been tampered with and whether the digital signature matches.

When not connected to other nodes, epress becomes your private blog, which may be different from the blogs you are already familiar with...

Learn about Private Blog

When not connected to other nodes, epress is a fully self-hosted private blog that you have complete ownership and control over, including domain, code, and data. No one can touch your data without authorization. Your Ethereum wallet serves as your identity proof, and no one can disable or revoke it, ensuring the security of your keys and assets. Just like any other private assets, the sanctity of private property is the foundation of lifelong ownership and trust.

A Private Blog You Can Trust for Life

Learn about Public Space

In addition to the connection between nodes, epress.world will also serve as a third-party service node to provide a free and secure public display space for each node. Here, everyone can safely showcase themselves to the world and freely explore high-quality information from around the world to find valuable information and reliable partners.

A Free and Secure Public Space

Learn about Virtuous Cycle

Only posts with attached certificates are permitted to circulate within the social network. All posts are tamper-proof and traceable, enabling the original publisher and dissemination path of the post to be identified. This will increase the cost of spreading false and harmful information, while decreasing the cost of identifying valuable information. Ultimately, this will rebuild trust and create a virtuous cycle of information flow.

A Virtuous Cycle of Information Flow

Learn about Social Network

Nodes can connect with each other, and you can follow or be followed by other nodes. Information flows between connected nodes, creating a fully decentralized social network. This means that there is no intermediary that can interfere with people's feed, and everyone's feed is fully transparent and controllable.

A Decentralized Social Network

Transform your Ethereum wallet into a personal blog, interconnect it with other blogs, and create a decentralized social network that never goes offline and is not owned by any organization or individual. By linking countless blogs together, allowing the Internet to return to what it should be.

Decentralized <bold>Social Network</bold>

Using Ethereum distributed accounts, there is no need for centralized authorization servers, no storage of usernames and passwords, no more sensitive data leaks, and no one can disable or delete your account. This is true, fully decentralized identity.

Decentralized Identity

Each member's node runs on their own hardware, with complete control over both software and hardware. Each person is responsible for their own computing power, eliminating the need for centralized large-scale data centers. The system is fully decentralized and can be infinitely horizontally scaled.

Decentralized Computing

Through self-hosting, all personal data is stored completely on one's own hard drive. There is no need to store private data on a stranger's hard drive. Each member of the network stores their own personal data, achieving true decentralized storage.

Decentralized Storage

All information within epress.world can be traced, allowing you to explore the unknown world safely with reliable information.

Join the public beta and join this brand new world in advance.

Self-hosted nodes may not guarantee never going offline. Anyone can push information to the epress.world public space and obtain a permanent link that will never go offline. Even if the node is offline, others can still find you.

Push your information to the epress.world public space, freely express yourself, and share your information with the world.

A gathering place for epress nodes, a hub for reliable information. Here, you can freely communicate with the unknown world and explore it safely. Discover new nodes, discover new information. As a natural barrier against false and harmful information on the unknown internet.

Public Space

The world is so diverse, with different races, religions, cultures, and beliefs blending together. Can these companies always adhere to the principles of fairness, justice, and openness in handling everything that happens on their platforms? This is almost impossible, and they will eventually betray the trust of billions of people worldwide. In that case, perhaps everyone should have the ability to connect directly, person to person, and this may be what the internet should be like.

Direct connections between nodes will create a decentralized social network, giving people back control of their digital social interactions. However, this alone only solves part of the problem. If the epress network ultimately becomes a gathering place for false and harmful information, then it is just one more unnecessary social network. Therefore, a decentralized and a positive cycle of information flow rebuilding are both necessary.

Establish a virtuous circle

Say the right thing to the right person

The whole world is made up of a few well-known technology companies, which are responsible for operating and maintaining most of the servers, hosting daily social and data activities for billions of people around the world. People trust these companies to take care of their data and lives.

The usage cost of epress varies from person to person. For the sake of comparison, use Twitter Blue $7/mon as an example.
