Pombo

Pombo is a peer-to-peer messaging and social media app, built on open infrastructure instead of a company's servers. Your people. Your rules. Your money. - Channels whose access rule is a contract you own, not a policy somebody else writes and you are made to accept. - Paid channels that pay you directly. The subscription goes from the subscriber's wallet to yours, in any ERC-20. No platform cut, no payout schedule, no account anyone can freeze. - Spam has to be paid for. A gated channel stays open: the rule is holding a token or an NFT, and whoever holds it walks in without asking anyone's permission. What changes is the price of abuse. One funded wallet buys one seat, so a bot farm needs thousands of them, and the refusal is the contract's, not the app's: a non-holder never receives a key, and the network refuses what they sign. - Direct messages end-to-end encrypted, with the sender sealed inside the envelope, so not even someone watching your inbox learns who wrote to you. - Your history lives where you decide. The channel owner picks the storage providers: the Pombo cluster, a community node, their own, or all three at once. - Notifications that reveal nothing. The relay that wakes your phone never learns the channel, the sender or the message. - Your account is a keypair on your device. No sign-up, no e-mail, no password reset, no server holding your data because no server has it. - Media, video and files, peer-to-peer for what is transient, on storage nodes for what must outlive the sender's session. - Sync across your own devices without a sync server, through your own encrypted inbox.
