-Build a DSS （Decentralized Social-media Service）program to support users running nodes on private computers.

- Integrate decentralized storage technologies (e.g., IPFS) for video management.

- Key Results:

- Completed the testnet deployment of DSC.

- Develop the basic features of the platform, including video publishing, browsing, and recommendations.


Phase 3: Testnet launch and community testing

Time frame: Q4 2025

- Objectives:

- Launched DS Testnet, allowing users to experience the core functionality of the platform.

- Recruit community nodes to test the stability and incentive mechanism of the DSS program.

- Validate the distribution and destruction mechanism of DSC through the testnet to optimize the economic model.

- Key Results:

- Gather test feedback to optimize platform performance and user experience.

- Build a core community to nurture early content creators and node operators.


Phase 4: Mainnet launch and token distribution

Time frame: Q1-Q2 2026

- Objectives:

- Officially launched DS mainnet, supporting global users to register and participate in the platform ecosystem.

- Launch of DSC initial distribution events (e.g. IDO or community airdrops).

- Turn on the platform's referral and reward features to attract more content creators and regular users.

- Key Results:

- Build a complete decentralized social ecosystem.

- Ensure the liquidity and practical application of DSC.


Phase 5: Multifunctional Expansion and Commercialization Exploration

Time frame: Q3-Q4 2026

- Objectives:

- Launched more functional modules, including ad payment and intelligent recommendation algorithm optimization.

- Launched a global go-to-market plan to expand the platform's user base.

- Build alliances with partners in the blockchain space to explore more commercialization possibilities.

- Key Results:

- Advertising features go live and bring in revenue streams.

- The number of users of the platform has reached tens of millions.


Phase 6: Global Expansion and Cross-Chain Integration

Timeframe: 2027 and beyond

- Objectives:

- Achieve cross-chain integration and interconnection with other blockchain ecosystems (such as Polkadot and Cosmos).

- Promote the launch of the DS platform in more countries and regions to attract more localized content creators.

- Create an open decentralized social ecosystem and support third-party developer access.

- Key Results:

- To be the world's leading decentralized social media platform.

- Forming a sound ecosystem and a sustainable economic model.

Future development plans


1. Technology development direction

- Continuously optimize the performance and stability of DSS nodes, lower the threshold for operation, and attract more users to participate.

- Research and apply emerging blockchain technologies (such as ZK-Rollup and DID) to enhance platform privacy and security.

- Launched the DS Developer Platform, which allows third parties to build DApps and enrich the DS ecosystem.


2. Community and ecological construction

- Launched the DSC token holder governance mechanism to guide the development of the platform through decentralized governance.

- Encourage the community to spontaneously organize activities and promotion, and gradually form a user-centered decentralized management model.

- Launched a content creator support program to provide additional rewards and traffic support for high-quality creators.


3. Commercialization path

- Develop a DSC-based ad payment system to engage advertisers.

- Introducing subscriptions that allow users to subscribe to premium content or specific creators.

- Promote the DS platform to become an advertising and content distribution center in the blockchain space, attracting more enterprises to cooperate.


4. International promotion

- Cooperate with the global blockchain alliance and content platform to promote the implementation of the DS platform in overseas markets.

- Develop functional modules that meet local needs for different countries and regions.


5. Social responsibility and public welfare

- Leverage blockchain technology to solve social problems such as content censorship, fake news spreading, etc.

- Provide an open, free, and fair content creation and distribution platform to drive change in the social media industry.
