DeSocial Docs
Everything you need to understand, use, and build with DeSocial — the social participation layer on Solana.
How it works
DeSocial works in 5 simple steps:
Install
Download the DeSocial app on iOS or Android.
Connect Wallet
Link your Solana wallet (Phantom, Backpack, Solflare).
Use Your Apps
Keep using Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram as normal.
Earn Points
The DSP engine captures participation signals and generates proofs.
Claim DSC
At epoch closure, points convert to DSC SPL tokens in your wallet.
Quick Start
1. Get a Solana wallet
Install Phantom, Backpack, or Solflare. Create a new wallet and save your seed phrase securely.
2. Register for the whitelist
Visit the register page to secure your spot and get your DeSocial Token address + 1,000 DSP bonus.

3. Download the app (coming soon)
The mobile app will be available on iOS and Android. Follow @DeSocial_app on X for the launch announcement.
DSP Proof System
The DeSocial Proof (DSP) system is a proprietary cryptographic proof architecture — not generic ZK. It's purpose-built for high-frequency social micro-events on mobile hardware.
Why not ZK-SNARKs?
Generic ZK frameworks (Groth16, PLONK) carry overhead unsuitable for DeSocial: trusted setups, slow circuit compilation, and proof sizes optimised for financial transactions rather than social events.
| Metric | DSP | Groth16 |
|---|---|---|
| Proof size | ~256 bytes | ~192 bytes (but trusted setup) |
| Proof gen (mobile) | ~18ms | ~500ms+ |
| Trusted setup | None | Required |
| On-chain verify | ~12,000 CUs | ~25,000+ CUs |
Primitives
- Pedersen Commitment (Ristretto255) — binds wallet identity without revealing pubkey
- Schnorr Sigma Protocol — proves knowledge of OAuth event signature
- Fiat-Shamir (SHA-256) — makes the proof non-interactive, no ceremony needed
- SHA-256 Nullifier PDA — prevents replay attacks on Solana
Supported Platforms
At launch, DeSocial tracks participation across 5 major platforms:
| Platform | Tracked | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Time · Usage · Engagement | DSP Engine | |
| X (Twitter) | Time · Usage · Engagement | DSP Engine |
| YouTube | Time · Usage · Engagement | DSP Engine |
| Time · Usage · Engagement | DSP Engine | |
| TikTok | Time · Usage · Engagement | DSP Engine |
Participation & Tasks
Participation is passive — just use your apps. But users can also complete tasks to earn additional rewards:
- Follow official DeSocial accounts
- Repost announcements
- Participate in community initiatives
- Refer new users
Each task is designed to encourage authentic participation, not spam.
DSC Token
DSC is the native SPL token of the DeSocial ecosystem, built on Solana's Token-2022 standard.
| Allocation | % | Amount | Vesting |
|---|---|---|---|
| User Participation | 80% | 800,000,000 | Continuous epoch distribution |
| Liquidity Provision | 10% | 100,000,000 | DEX liquidity |
| Ecosystem & Growth | 5% | 50,000,000 | DAO-governed grants |
| Protocol Reserve | 4% | 40,000,000 | 24-month lock |
| Core Team | 1% | 10,000,000 | Cliff vesting |
Epochs & Rewards
Rewards are distributed in epochs — fixed time windows where participation is measured and DSC is allocated.
Epoch 1
- Duration: 100 days
- Allocation: 25,000,000 DSC
- Start: Q4 2026
- Points convert to DSC at epoch closure
Subsequent Epochs
Each subsequent epoch allocates ~22.2M DSC, continuing until the 800M user participation pool is distributed.
Referral System
Every user gets a unique referral code. When someone joins using your code, you earn a share of their participation rewards.
| Level | Reward | Decay |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 (direct) | 100% of referee points | None |
| Level 1+ (two-way) | 100% of referee points | None |
Referral relationships are stored as a directed Merkle graph in Solana PDA/ATA accounts — fully on-chain and auditable.
Privacy Model
DeSocial is designed with privacy as a core constraint, not an afterthought.
- No messages, photos, or contacts are ever accessed
- Social account linkages stored as SHA-256 hashes — raw OAuth tokens never persisted
- DSP proofs attest participation without revealing your social identity
- No admin key — immutable Solana program after mainnet launch
Encryption
| Layer | Algorithm | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Data at rest | AES-256-GCM | Local participation log |
| Data in transit | TLS 1.3 + AES-GCM | App to DSP server |
| Wallet / tx signing | Ed25519 | Solana tx auth + DSP proof |
| Commitment (DSP) | Pedersen/Ristretto255 | Wallet identity binding |
| Proof challenge | SHA-256 (Fiat-Shamir) | Random oracle |
| Nullifier | SHA-256 | Replay prevention |
Register & Whitelist
Early registration guarantees your whitelist spot and earns you 1,000 DSP bonus points credited at account creation.
