Description
Sequel is Piprate's next-generation social platform designed around user ownership and privacy rather than platform-controlled data. Built on top of MetaLocker's private, permanent, bi-directional communication channels ("lockers"), Sequel stores users' posts, photos, and replies in their own personal data wallets instead of a centralized database, giving users control over what they share and with whom, with no user tracking. The platform supports seamless multiple identities for different contexts (professional, personal, creative, or anonymous) and is Fediverse-ready via ActivityPub support, enabling interoperability with other decentralized social networks. Sequel's server software can be deployed as independent instances called "spaces" for communities, companies, or niche groups, which can run independently or synchronize through a shared distributed ledger for network-wide, auditable trust without a central gatekeeper. Sequel Nova, one of the Sequel Spaces, is live as a web experience, and the platform targets communities wanting to run their own platform, creators seeking ownership and provenance over distribution, and anyone wanting a portable, sovereign, AI-resistant digital life.
