Civilization scale substrate
for resilient, user-owned communication
ORION replaces centralized networks with an open relay model—users connect directly, identities live in cryptographic keys, and relays can be created or replaced at will.
ORION is not an app or a blockchain.
It's a coordination layer for digital freedom.
Clients publish signed events
Every action is cryptographically signed by your private key
Relays distribute them
Independent nodes carry your signal across the network
Users verify authenticity
Cryptographic signatures ensure trust without intermediaries
Identity is portable, data is universal, and the network topology is fluid—creating a civilization-scale substrate for resilient, user-owned communication.
Core Features
Built for sovereignty, designed for resilience
Self-Owned Identity
Your public key is your identity. No usernames, no logins, no third-party control. You own your digital self across all apps.
Relay Interchange Layer
Information flows through independent relays. Each relay can be replaced, mirrored, or specialized—no single point of failure.
Client Freedom
Any developer can build clients on top of ORION. Data remains portable; your account doesn't live inside one app.
Censorship Resistance
No central moderation choke point. If one relay bans you, another can carry your signal.
Programmable Extensibility
Modular protocol extensions enable new message types, payment channels, reputation graphs, and beyond.
Integrated Micro-Economy
Optional Lightning or crypto primitives enable value transfer within the protocol—tipping, micropayments, relay incentives.
Resilient Infrastructure
Replaceable nodes, open-source spec, and permissionless participation create antifragile communication ecosystems.
Use Cases
From social networks to financial rails—built on open protocols
Social Communication
Decentralized Twitter-like feeds, chat, and microblogs without central databases.
Publishing & Archiving
Permanent content distribution—writers publish directly to relays under their own keys.
Financial Integration
Lightning-enabled tipping, paywalls, and automated content monetization.
Identity Infrastructure
Universal login via cryptographic key—own your name across the open web.
Coordination Systems
Peer-to-peer groups, communities, and DAOs without platforms or gatekeepers.
Relay Specialization
Domain-focused relays for governance, AI data feeds, or verified content indexing.
ORION vs. Traditional Web
A fundamental shift in how the internet works
