  "description": "Decentralized Social (DESO) is a layer-1 native blockchain designed to revolutionize the social media landscape. Founded by Nader Al-Naji in January 2019, it aims to decentralize social platforms traditionally controlled by major tech corporations. The project provides a permissionless environment where creators and users can publish content stored on a decentralized ledger. DESO supports monetization tools such as Social Tokens and Social NFTs, allowing creators to monetize in new ways. With a focus on storage-heavy applications, DESO offers a more cost-effective alternative to existing blockchain solutions. The project aims to redefine online social interactions, supported by a $200 million treasury and a $50 million developer fund, the Octane Fund. DESO's transition to a Proof-of-Stake consensus model by the end of 2022 promises enhanced scalability, anticipating handling hundreds of thousands of transactions per second. Governance is led by the non-profit DeSo Foundation with decentralized aims.",
