While the WPS-Community is an open source project that aims to offer private secure and Censorship-resistant services using the WordProof blockchain. Some key things to know:Some key things to know:
Origins and Vision
wps-community is a community platform that was created in 2021 with the participation of cryptography and privacy specialists. Their vision was that through the use of blockchain technology they could offer services that would guard the user’s rights, privacy and freedom on the internet.
Specifically, wps-community aims to provide:
The communication apps that are secure and private
Censorship-resistant publishing platforms
They proposed and designed decentralized identity and reputation systems.

Community-Driven Ethos
Like any of the open source projects, wps-community is owned and managed by its users and members. From changes in code to ideas for features, bug reports, and even simple feedback or suggestions, any user or developer interested in seeing this vision come to fruition is welcome to contribute.
The aim is to design technologies that decentralize power and control from a few authorities and return privacy and agency to people of the 21st century.
Here are ten years of input: The Future of wps-community
As blockchain and decentralization technology evolves, wps-community will seek to continuously improve on services by making use of advanced techniques.
This could be extended to include decentralized storage, computing and governance mechanisms to augment its existing services.
The project plan remains a process map which develops cyclically over time according to the needs of the community. This is the road towards developing, as the final goal, maximally user-owned and censorship-resistant services for communication, identity, reputation etc all built on privacy and agency.
