Overview
Bastyon is an innovative, open-source social network and video sharing platform designed to prioritize freedom of speech and user privacy. Unlike mainstream social networks, Bastyon operates without centralized corporate control, instead relying on a distributed network of nodes worldwide.

Our vision is to build a platform that stands strong against censorship and ensures user sovereignty in the digital realm.

Censorship Resistance
By design, Bastyon enables users to connect, view content, and post freely as long as they have an internet connection, without fear of content removal or account suspension due to ideological differences.
Open-Source Development
A team of dedicated developers and experts collaboratively maintain and improve the platform, fostering transparency and community involvement.
Cryptocurrency Integration
Bastyon incorporates its own cryptocurrency, facilitating secure and decentralized transactions within the platform.
Founded by Daniel Satchkov, Bastyon aims to provide a secure, anonymous social platform where users can communicate and share content without the risk of corporate or government interference. This commitment to digital freedom sets Bastyon apart in the landscape of social media.
