## Vision
|
|
|
|
Ario aims to create a **decentralized alternative** to traditional social media and marketplace platforms by leveraging the Nostr protocol and Lightning Network. Our vision is a world where users have complete control over their data, identity, and financial transactions.
|
|
|
|
### Key Principles
|
|
- **User Sovereignty** - Users own their data and identity
|
|
- **Censorship Resistance** - No central authority can silence users
|
|
- **Financial Freedom** - Direct peer-to-peer value exchange
|
|
- **Open Source** - Transparent, auditable, and collaborative development
|
|
|
|
## Core Objectives
|
|
|
|
### 1. **Decentralized Social Networking**
|
|
- Enable users to connect without intermediaries
|
|
- Provide familiar social media features on decentralized infrastructure
|
|
- Support rich content sharing (text, images, events)
|
|
- Enable real-time communication through Nostr relays
|
|
|
|
### 2. **Lightning-Powered Commerce**
|
|
- Facilitate instant, low-fee Bitcoin payments
