So, what is polyproto all about?

Diagram showing digital signature verification flow: YOU send signed message to FOREIGN SERVER, which forwards to OTHER USER, who verifies signature via HOME SERVER.

polyproto is a protocol describing decentralized, federated data exchange using tried and true concepts. Designed to be flexible, polyproto can fit into lots of use cases. The best part? The user remains in control. Messages or posts you've sent in the past can be trivially migrated to a new account. This means: no more losing friends or followers if your old homeserver sunsets. Feel free to migrate to another homeserver at any time, even if your old homeserver has shut down ages ago.

Switch home servers even if your home server is offline or uncooperative, while making sure that your data stays in your control.

Tamper-Proof Messages

polyproto produces tamper-resistant data/messages through the use of signatures. Mathematically trust, that what you see has not been altered along the way, no matter which server you get the information from.
