Why a New Protocol? The History and Future of AT Protocol - AT Protocol
Bluesky CTO Paul Frazee and Head of Protocol Daniel Holmgren join for a wide-ranging conversation about what atproto is, why it exists, how it got built, and where it's going next. From a Twitter consultancy to an IETF working group, this is where to get started.

Solving AT Protocol's Centralized Identity - blog.boscolo.co
I spent the weekend building a proof of concept for a truly decentralized DID method using Farcaster's battle-tested identity system. Here's why AT Protocol needs this third DID option.
ATProto in Practice #1: Identity
I’m starting a new blog post series that I’ve named “ATProto in Practice”. I want to go through some practical tasks that you’re likely to need when working with the protocol, using Ruby and my Ruby gems for the examples. These will (hopefully) be a bit shorter than my standard book-length blog posts here 🫠
this is kinda another reason im starting to think more and more that there would be worth in splitting atprotos identity layer out as its own spec and standard. building up handles and oauth around a DID makes for a really flexible cross platform (and potentially cross ecosystem) identity system

i kinda hate how atproto adopting DIDs has made people intrinsically associate DIDs with atproto ... it makes some people see me as some annoying bitch trying to shove atproto into places it obviously doesnt belong in when i suggest using DIDs as user identifiers for other systems
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.
