Social Protocol Overview
Passepartout Social Protocol is the decentralized identity and communication layer that connects Passepartout instances:
- Self-sovereign identity via HD key derivation (BIP-44)
- Encrypted messaging via DIDComm (agent-to-agent and agent-to-human)
- Notes as atomic, content-addressed, signed data units (mapped from Passepartout memory-objects)
- Relay Network for censorship-resistant message routing
- Personal Data Store (PDS) — the Merkle fact store exposed as a network-addressable service
- Compute marketplace where instances offer symbolic engine capacity
- Contracts and liquid democracy infrastructure
The PDS is Passepartout's in-process memory — the Merkle tree, the fact store, the memory-objects. Every memory-object already has a SHA-256 hash, which maps directly to the social protocol's CIDv1 content addressing.
Revenue paths from the social protocol:
- Premium username registry — $10M/yr at scale
- PDS as a service — $18M/yr at scale
- Compute marketplace — venture-scale
- Smart contracts + contract marketplace — the kill app
