Overview

ModeChat is the first decentralized social network on the Mode L2 blockchain. All data on ModeChat is owned by users and stored in a decentralized way, either on IPFS via Orbis/Ceramic (posts, reactions, images) or on the Mode blockchain (usernames, NFTs, etc.). ModeChat does not have a web2 backend. It's a purely frontend app that can easily run on IPFS, without any centralized web2 dependency needed (e.g. a centralized database). Its codebase is open source, which means that anyone can run their own instance of ModeChat, displaying the same content as other instances. The purpose of ModeChat is to provide Mode users with a decentralized place to chat, share ideas and knowledge, and have fun onchain. It shows users the future of social networks and the world of blockchain dApps beyond just financial use cases.
