The team also announced the next version of the platform’s underlying protocol, formerly known as ADX.

The team said today that it has renamed ADX “Authenticated Transport Protocol” or “AT Protocol“. It aims to provide portable accounts, a choice of content algorithms, interoperability with other services, and high performance.

The team also described the AT protocol as a federated network, meaning that users can choose from different providers or host their own network themselves.

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who first announced the project in 2019, acknowledged the project’s latest step today. He simply called the news “founder” in a statement. tweet.

Despite previous expectations, today’s announcement did not announce crypto-currency or blockchain.

Bluesky’s announcement first considered blockchain social networks such as Steemit and Peepeth alongside non-blockchain protocols such as ActivityPub and XMPP. In 2021, former Zcash developer Jay Graber was hired to lead the project. That same year, Dorsey responded positively to the suggestion that Lightning Network be integrated with Bluesky.

Although blockchain appears to be absent from the final product, Bluesky will likely appeal to the crypto community because of the shared values of decentralization and user control.
