WeYouMe is a peer-to-peer decentralized social media protocol. WeYouMe enables users to own their own data, to create posts to connect with their audience, message their friends, and earn digital currency rewards for sharing valuable content. The protocol leverages a participatory approach to community driven content moderation, a Delegated Proof of Stake and Proof of Work hybrid consensus mechanism, and enables a multi-application approach to create a neutral public square. The WeYouMe Mobile Application and Web Applications are the flagship social platforms of the WeYouMe network. They pack a suite of fun and creative new content types, and digital currency features. Users can share any type of content with their friends, peers, and the world by making posts to the WeYouMe blockchain. It will be free to use, open source, borderless, neutral, and censorship resistant. The network will reward users for posting content, voting on content, and contributing resources. The WeYouMe team will launch the WeYouMe Mainnet blockchain, and will create an ecosystem of cross platform compatible and open source applications that operate on the protocol. It will offer a comprehensive digital currency wallet and trading platform, with a decentralized and open marketplace of digital assets, services, and products. It will also integrate a native advertising network, and account memberships to deliver on-chain verifiable cash flows to buyback assets as protocol revenue. Contents: 1.
