Project Description:
Kiwi is a project built from two parts:
The content published on Kiwi News is close to the OG perspective on crypto - decentralization, cryptography, culture, governance, economics, and coding.
Why protocol is so important
Since KiwiNews is built on top of a P2P protocol, it gives users freedom.
If they disagree with the UI or moderation of the main client, they can build alternative apps.
And it already happened - since April, there’s been an alternative client https://kiwinews.lol built by our contributor - freeatnet. It has access to the same links as the main client but has a different UI and moderation rules.
Protocol design also let devs permissionlessly build apps on top of Kiwi - like kiwisearch developed by matallo.
How does it work
Kiwi Protocol stores all submitted links and upvotes that are executed via EIP712 signatures. We have lately managed to use key delegation that lets users use the app without having to sign every interaction.
Write access to the protocol is gated by Ethereum-based NFTs to limit spam and cover the costs of running the protocol.
Thanks to that lightweight design, all the data is stored on the protocol, so we don’t congest the mainnet with data that’s not mission-critical.
