Welcome to Signed documentation!

Signed is a twitter-like social network owned and controlled by its users. It uses the same cryptographic algorithms to sign messages as bitcoin uses to sign transactions. Because each message is signed by the source, the followers may verify the authenticity of the message regardless of how this message was delivered.

How signed is different?

• Signed is distributed - i.e. there’s no central entity or owner that could control the network.

• Signed is open source

• Signed is essentialy a protocol (like HTTP) and a format (like HTML) enabling interoperation of

independent software components, rather than a monolithic product.
