BlockStar is a decentralized social media network built for blockchain. BlockStar is designed to be massively scalable, robust, and efficient. The core consensus engine is able to support a global network of potentially hundreds of millions of internet-connected, low and high powered devices that operate seamlessly, with low latencies and competitively high transactions per second.

BlockStar is designed to provide unprecedented decentralization to Social Networking, Personal Assets and Data. This implies a commitment to multiple client implementations and no centralized control of any kind. BlockStar is also designed to be a universal and flexible infrastructure for a multitude of blockchains/assets, where the base $BST is used for governance and as a unit of value for exchange.
