About

YourPlace is the next-generation decentralized social media platform that puts you back in control. Say goodbye to Big Tech censorship, data harvesting, and arbitrary bans—YourPlace empowers users with true ownership of their content, profiles, relationships, and freedom of expression.

Built on blockchain technology (including Algorand, Base, Ethereum, and more) and powered by IPFS for distributed storage, YourPlace is fully open-source, uncensorable, and resistant to centralized takedowns. Your posts live on the blockchain and decentralized networks, meaning no single company or authority can delete your voice or lock you out. You own your domain in the digital world—literally and figuratively.

Key features include:
* Full user sovereignty: Control your profile, followers, and data—no platform can seize or monetize them without your consent.
* Censorship resistance: Content persists across gateways and nodes, even if individual access points apply their own filters (similar to how email works).
* Multi-chain support: Publish and connect across various blockchains for maximum reach and resilience.
* Privacy-focused: Minimal user data collection—most information stays public on-chain or user-controlled.
* Open and community-driven: Run your own server/node, contribute to the protocol, or use the free public gateway at yourplace.network.

Founded by tech veteran Austin (Nops) Lawrence, with experience at IBM, SpaceX, Coinbase, and AWS, YourPlace was created to restore the original promise of social media: genuine connection, free speech, customization, and joy—without surveillance or corporate overreach.

Whether you're tired of shadowbans, seeking a freer space to share ideas, or want to build authentic relationships online, YourPlace is where social media finally lives up to its name. Your data. Your relationships. Your rules.
