§ What’s Inside
Eight pillars of a new internet.
Each one is independently revolutionary. Together they replace the entire Web 2 stack —
social, messaging, governance, search, identity, hosting — with a single unified protocol.
01 / IDENTITY
Guide ID
Your identity, for life.
A 16-character universal identifier derived from 9 personal inputs only you know. Your private keys regenerate from those inputs on any device — they never leave your machine, never touch a server, never get backed up to a cloud.
- RAM-resident keys, post-quantum signed (ML-DSA-65)
- No passwords. No email. No phone. No KYC.
- Self-sovereign. Truly. Irrecoverable by design.
02 / NETWORK
You ARE the server.
One user. One node. Period.
Every citizen runs the same code — a full node on desktop, server, or phone. No lite clients. No tiered access. Share a slice of your disk and bandwidth, and the entire network becomes free, hosted by everyone, owned by no one.
- Pure UDP peer-to-peer mesh (no central anything)
- Relay & relayed roles to traverse any NAT
- Auto-scaling resource sharing — no fees, no token, no ads
03 / DOCUMENTS
Signs replace domains.
The world’s information, digitized line by line.
A Sign is a globally-unique digital document — part URL, part Wikipedia article, part constitution. PHEUN ships with a citizen-built Digital Constitution and Digital Curriculum, amended one line at a time through automated democracy.
- 75% approval threshold. No admins. No moderators.
- Universal governance — charters, bylaws, papers, wikis
- The first time this has been built at planetary scale
04 / STORAGE
420-byte anchors. 10 GB payloads.
Tiny on-chain. Massive off-chain. Always linked.
Each anchor is fixed-size and lives in the AnchorStream forever. Payloads up to 10 GB are encrypted, fragmented, and scattered across the mesh — addressed by the anchor. PHEUN Sites and PHEUN Links let you embed and share any anchor directly inside a DM or a feed.
- AES-256-GCM-sealed payloads, BLAKE3-indexed
- 2,000-char text default, plus rich media & PHEUN Sites
- One protocol, infinite content types
05 / DISCOVERY
8 feeds. One global search.
Curate your reality.
Eight fully customizable feeds with fine-grained inclusion and exclusion rules — by Guide ID, sign, hashtag, category, type, zone, maturity, tag, and language. Plus a global search that fans out across the entire mesh in under 60 seconds.
- No algorithm. Just your rules.
- Search anything, anywhere, anyone — in seconds
- Zero advertising. Zero engagement-baiting.
06 / SUBSCRIPTIONS
Follow what matters.
Five subscription types. Infinite reach.
Subscribe to a Guide ID, a Sign, a hashtag, a thread, or an entire stream. Every matching anchor flows straight to your node — past, present, and future — delivered peer-to-peer with no inbox in between.
- Real-time across a planet-scale mesh
- No central index. The protocol IS the discovery layer.
- Mention, follow, watch — without surveillance
07 / SOCIAL
Decide before you consume.
A radically different approach to social media.
Every post arrives as an anchor card first — showing a 32-char preview, a 16-char title, the author, hashtag, category, type, language, age rating, geographic zone, and content tags. Then you choose whether to open the payload.
- Informed consumption, not infinite scroll
- Age & maturity rated by the citizen, not the platform
- Built for intention, not addiction
08 / LENS
One anchor, four lenses.
Payload · Comments · Governance · Raw.
Open any anchor and switch between its lenses: read the payload, dive into the comment thread, inspect the governance votes & tally, or view the raw 420 bytes signed by the author. Every layer of truth, one click away.
- Verifiable on-chain provenance — always
- Universal across every category and content type
- Transparency by default, privacy by design
