#protocolsforpublishers #atproto #mcp #webapplets | Chad Kohalyk

Web publishing is facing its next challenge: a new iteration of centralizing platforms. BUT there is also a new wave of open protocols and standards that can help us gain our independence. Next month in NYC we are gathering a group of frontier technologists and popular web publishers to discuss how we can sail into this next platform shift as captains. #ProtocolsForPublishers Learn more and sign up here: https://pfp.unternet.co We will be hosting talks on #atproto #mcp #webapplets and web payments, and give publishers the opportunity to interact directly with developers working on these frontier technologies. Thank you to Unternet, Graze Social, Free our Feeds, and betaworks for their support.

FEP-1042: Peer to Peer Fediverse Identities

Hey folks, we at [Distributed Press](https://distributed.press) have been working on making a bridge between peer to peer or "dweb" protocols and ActivityPub implementations over the past year and wanted to solidify our approach so that others can interoperate. Here's is an initial draft expla...

Federation Architecture | Bluesky

The AT Protocol is made up of a bunch of pieces that stack together. Federation means that anyone can run the parts that make up the AT Protocol themselves, such as their own server.

From ZK-first to AT Protocol — our path to DDS | Agora Citizen Network

We've been building Agora — a platform for public deliberation using Polis-style clustering — for a while now. Along the way, we've written about what we think about Nostr, AT Protocol, Polis, Community Notes, and protocol interoperability. Those posts are somewhat outdated now. This one describes w...

I am very excited about AT Protocol

AT Protocol (atproto) is the right mix of useful, practical, personal, and fun. I think it could save the internet.

Rewilding the internet with ATProto

So far, many of the projects in the ATProtocol ecosystem have focused on bringing parity—making projects that replicate our existing tools and platforms, but with the affordances of the protocol instead. That's cool and we need to do that, but I think we can go much farther, and take this opportunity to challenge some of the biggest assumptions of what the modern internet is for, who builds it, and how we interact with it. This talk is in conversation with several of the talks from last year, and in I'll argue that we'll never get away from skeuomorphism until we've fundamentally changed the definition of what "the social internet" means in the first place.

Delta Chat: Webxdc (Psst!) reclaiming Peer-to-Peer Web technology

While blockchain projects hailed “decentralization” and “Web3” as a paradigm change, expending billions of dollars and development hours in the last decade, they failed to create even a baseline sp...

Decentralization Trade Offs in AT Protocol and ActivityPub DWeb Camp 2026

Christine Lemmer Webber is lead author and co-editor of the W3C ActivityPub specification. Daniel Holmgren is Head of Protocol at Bluesky, working on the AT Protocol specification at the IETF. Join us for a discussion on decentralization trade-offs and other design decisions in the two protocols, and what that means for different architectures, structures, and even future points of convergence.
