Developers Overview

Introduction

Desmos aims to provide developers a platform on which they will be able to create decentralized and censorship-resistant social network applications. To do so, we've implemented a set of transactions that are useful to perform the most common operations related to this world. If you want to know more about the base concepts of a blockchain and understand some key points, please take a look a the FAQ page.

Glossary

Before digging into the available transactions, let's clarify the meaning of some terms that we will be using a lot.

• A profile contains a series of (personal) data associated to an account that a user can create on the chain;

• A post is a public message that everyone can read on the chain.
  When creating it you can also specify if it allows to be commented on or not;

• A comment is a post that has been linked to a parent post;

• A reaction is the way that allows users to express a feeling on a specific post;

• A subspace is a "zone" where a specific app or more apps can live on and share contents;
