§ What’s Inside
Nine 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 a desktop, a server or a small box like a Raspberry Pi, with phones to follow. 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
One Constitution. Every citizen.
Written line by line, by the people it governs.
PHEUN ships two governed documents — a Digital Constitution and a Digital Curriculum — amended one line at a time through automated democracy. Every node resolves them to the same document without asking anyone, so there is no name to race for and nothing to squat.
- 75% approval threshold. No admins. No moderators.
- Every line versioned, every vote counted on the mesh
- A new institution is a deliberation, never a form submission
04 / STORAGE
512-byte anchors. 10 GB payloads.
Tiny on the ledger. Massive in the weave. 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, document, hashtag, category, type, zone, age rating, 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 document, a hashtag, a LINK branch, or an Origin Stream — up to 300 in all, plus yourself. Every new matching anchor flows straight to your node as it is born, delivered peer-to-peer with no inbox in between; everything older is one search away.
- 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 anchor arrives as an anchor card first — showing a 64-byte preview, a 24-byte 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 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 512 bytes signed by the author. Every layer of truth, one click away.
- Verifiable provenance, signed by the author — always
- Universal across every category and content type
- Transparency by default, privacy by design
09 / LONGEVITY
Built to last a century.
Upgraded forever. Never forked.
Every anchor names its own algorithms — its signature, its hashes, its payload cipher — in selector bytes. If a primitive ever weakens, its successor ships beside it and new anchors move over, while every anchor ever written still verifies under the algorithm it was born with. New features ride a 66-byte upgrade lane that old nodes read as opaque and accept.
- Crypto agility in four selector bytes
- Every upgrade additive — nothing to wipe, no chain split
- Anchors from day one stay valid forever
