# Synapsis — There's a swarm coming.
Synapsis is the open social network built around your node, your identity, and your data. There's a swarm coming.

A new social layer is propagating

# There’s a
swarm coming.

A social network that belongs to the people running it. Sovereign identity, portable media, encrypted conversations, and independent nodes moving as one.

The network, reconfigured

## Not another platform.
A shared signal layer.

Synapsis replaces the single social silo with a swarm of independent communities. Each node sets its own culture and rules. The network carries identity, discovery, and signed interactions between them.

You can join a node or operate your own. Either way, you aren’t renting a corner of somebody else’s audience. Your identity is based on cryptographic keys, your media can live in storage you choose, and your connections reach beyond one server.

Built differently at the root

## Social, without surrender.

01 / IDENTITY

### You are not a database row.

Your Synapsis identity is anchored by a decentralized identifier and your signing keys. It can be exported, carried, and verified across the network.

● CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY VERIFIED
02 / STORAGE

### Your media. Your address.

Connect Stuffbox or your own S3-compatible storage. Your photos and files stay at portable URLs under your control—even if you move between nodes.

STUFFBOX · S3 · R2 · B2
03 / CONVERSATIONS

### Private means encrypted.

One-to-one text messages use client-side end-to-end encryption, with a separate recovery PIN for bringing your identity to a new device.

04 / FEDERATION

### Independent. Not isolated.

Nodes discover one another through the Swarm. Follows, reactions, reposts, and profiles cross boundaries as signed, verifiable interactions.

DISCOVER · VERIFY · PROPAGATE
05 / COMMUNITY

### Your node, your rules.

Operators control their node’s identity, moderation, registrations, and culture—without cutting their members off from the wider network.

LOCAL CONTROL · GLOBAL REACH

The difference

## The swarm has no center to capture.

The old platform The Synapsis network
One company owns the graphIndependent nodes share the graph
Your account is permissionYour identity is cryptographic
Media locked to the platformMedia storage you choose
Rules imposed from the centerCommunities govern locally

For node operators

## Bring a VPS.
Leave with a network.

Synapsis runs as a native Node.js service with an embedded database. No Docker. No separate database server. Automatic updates keep every node moving with the network.
