INTRODUCTION
Own Your Moment
Imagine an infinite timeline that grows in lock-step with Cardano's blockchain. A never-ending decentralized story that creators populate with eternal moments. Each moment you mint is a block of time owned by you, defined by your creativity. We are pioneering decentralized social media, striving for ethical-AI by empowering creators with full control, and trusted digital media. Join us in creating, sharing, and governing the most epic timeline ever.
A bold statement sure. So how?
To be epic, we must inspire the next generation of content creators. We do this by radically empowering creators and their communities. First, we give back total data ownership of each posted moment. True granular control. This means denying AI training until you consent, providing ownership at the account level, and teaching creators to become custodians of their moments. To empower communities, we give control over the governance of their content timelines. Token projects can set the rules over who contributes and curates content. Tokens can represent anything, and so communities can form and self-govern around anything.
Data is the currency of the future. It already is. It's just not being traded, yet. Most is being held in data banks others can't reach, which is not altogether a bad thing. But a problem becomes apparent if we look at how AI is trained and how crazy the world is going for it... Things are going to change. Ethical AI will require empowering creators with control of their media. That empowerment is what the creators of tomorrow want. We are building it today.
Creating your moment today means the following:
First, we protect your authenticity. All your posts are automatically opted out of AI training permission stored on a public ledger. Secondly, your posted moments are sent to you for custody immediately after creation. Thirdly we allow you to connect with and post amongst people instead of bots impersonating people so easily on traditional media.
The reason we build on Cardano to build on is their design choices. The first principles approach to systems development and the decentralized community people contributing, match our long-term vision. To give robust control to our creators the infrastructure must be secure, decentralized, and scaleable. Cardano continues to build trust by their actions, not words. We are monitoring the Ediborough Decentralization Index, participating in CIP 1694, and preparing for the Chang Hard Fork. Things age going to get exciting.
So, we humbly invite you to come and humanize the blockchain, paint on the canvas of time, own your moment, create generational stories, write history, build communities, and enrich all our lives with your infinite creativity!
Why
We started as AmsterdamNode, built our first project AdaTimeStamp.io - a permanent decentralized museum timeline. A place where creativity, once posted, could never be removed, altered, or deleted from the blockchain’s memory. This original mission still holds but we evolved after community feedback. See our old brochure and technical white paper below.
"That brain of mine is something more than merely mortal; as time will show" - Ada Lovelace (1815-1852)
MISSION
Our mission is to empower creators to build the most epic timeline ever.
