Build a Decentralized Reddit on DeSo and Get $1M in Funding

My name is Ash, and I work for the cutting-edge DeSo Foundation, a custom-built layer-1 blockchain designed to scale decentralized social media applications to billions of users.

I'm sure everyone is aware of the Reddit API fiasco and also what's going on with social media today.

Because of that, we're offering up to $1M in funding for a team interested in building a decentralized Reddit competitor on DeSo.

And that is from us personally. This project will likely get visibility in front of our investor network as well (a16z, Sequioa, Coinbase Ventures, and many more!), so it could potentially end up being more than $1M.

We live in a world where only 3 - 5 corporations control what we see and do online. They also own our content and social graph, with no clear path to monetization.

It's time to change that and break free!

The best part about DeSo is that you don't need to know or learn solidity or Rust to start building. You can use your web2 skill set to build on DeSo, drastically reducing the development time of building a killer app.

If you're interested in learning more about DeSo and its tech stack, here are a few resources:

If you have any questions, I'm happy to set up a telegram chat with our engineers.
