AT Protocol

The AT Protocol is a protocol and set of open standards for decentralized publishing and distribution of self-authenticating data within the social web. It serves as the technical foundation of the Bluesky social network, originally developed as a reference implementation for the protocol, as well as an ecosystem of interoperable social applications and services collectively referred to as the ATmosphere.

AT Protocol Developers

@bsky.app recently acquired the trademark for AT Protocol (and variants) to help protect the ecosystem. Here’s more about what that means. atproto.com/blog/at-protocol-trademark

Bluesky now owns the trademark for AT Protocol to shield the ecosystem and make sure it can be used as widely as possible.

The AT Protocol *is* fundamentally a social protocol. It’s literally in the design and the founding documents about the protocol. I have yet to be given a use case that isn’t social. Not one.

I wrote up my talk at @localfirstconf.com as a blogpost The AT Protocol is a high-scale network by design. It works by codifying proven architectures into a protocol. If you've ever used kafka to connect some backend services, then you basically know how atproto works.

Bluesky was founded in 2022 to produce a protocol which Twitter could adopt. The product goals changed, but the requirements didn't.

Starting from scale in the design of the AT Protocol
