According to a blog post, the app is in secret beta testing and will be open to the public soon. At the same time, not many details about the upcoming app are available. Still, the company reports its new revamped “AT Protocol” (Authenticated Transfer Protocol), enhancing the previous ADX Protocol.
The company said, “The ‘AT Protocol’ is a unique social network. It incorporates ideas from the most delinquent decentralized technologies into a simple, swift, and open network”.
BlueSky argues it will allow users to move between several social platforms with just one high-quality browser in its app. This will allow users to control what they witness and how much data is delivered to social platforms (algorithmic choice).
According to Futurism, the company could use web3 to accomplish this performance in the network.
Besides, BlueSky promises its users that AT Protocol will ensure obscurity for inexplicable cooperations owning a person’s online identity. However, you can transfer accounts from one provider to another without data or social graph failure.
The AT Protocol also contains Lexicon, a schema-based interoperation framework, to determine coordination challenges.
The app is going through secret beta testing while the company iterates protocol specs and claims details on the process.
