Overview
Tribe Protocol is a decentralized social protocol built on Solana. It provides on-chain identity (TID), delegated app keys, human-readable usernames (.tribe), a social graph with an Ephemeral Rollup sequencer, hub registration for peer discovery, and off-chain storage of signed messages.
Self-Sovereign Identity
Users fully own their identity and social data. No platform can revoke access or censor content at the infrastructure layer.
Open Social Graph
A portable social graph built on Solana PDAs, enabling O(1) checks and efficient on-chain storage.
Instant Interactions
Ephemeral Rollup (ER) sequencer provides sub-50ms confirmations for social actions while settling to L1 every 10s.
Distributed Hubs
Decentralized storage nodes (Hubs) store signed messages and sync via gossip protocol for maximum resilience.
Key Components
TID (Tribe ID)
Universal identifier across the entire protocol with built-in recovery.
App Keys
Signed Messages
Self-authenticating off-chain actions validated against on-chain records.
Ephemeral Rollup (ER)
Optimistic sequencer for fast social graph updates.
