Abstract: In this paper, we describe the design and construction of a Social Media Network that is decentralized and built on blockchain and peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. The system provides users a reliable and censorship resistant platform to share information and communicate without a central authority. Blockchain technology is implemented to ensure data integrity, and content is well secured and verifiable. Furthermore, InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is applied to allow distributed file storage to enable efficient and unchangeable data sharing. The proposed network improves user privacy by giving power to the users to own and control their data such that it is selectively shared. The platform makes provision against single points of failure which improves its resistance to hacking and server downtimes. The network is tested and results show that it can support secure and anonymous communication, which provides an alternative to popular social media platforms.
