Bluesky, which is supported by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, is a decentralized competitor to Twitter that has recently introduced an Android application. The launch of the platform on Android follows the release of the app for iOS in March.
Currently, access to Bluesky is restricted to individuals who have received an invitation from an existing user or those who have signed up via a waitlist. The network now boasts over 25,000 members, including prominent figures in the cryptocurrency space.
In 2019, Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter, announced that the company would be forming a team to explore and create a decentralized social media framework. Dorsey’s departure from Twitter coincided with the announcement of the Bluesky initiative, which revealed that the AT Protocol would be launched in October 2022, along with a timeline for its development.

Utilizing Federated Approach
Since Elon Musk acquired Twitter in February, the Bluesky organization has been functioning as a public benefit limited liability company to reassure its users of its independence from the social media platform.
Bluesky’s AT Protocol is described as “blockchain optional and blockchain agnostic,” and is led by Jay Graber, a former developer for the privacy-focused currency project Zcash.
With expertise in both blockchain technologies and decentralized web protocols, the Bluesky team tweeted in October 2022 that they are “working on synthesizing the best of what we’ve seen into something new.”
Bluesky employs a federated model where user profiles can be transferred across social networks that utilize the AT protocol. In a blog post from October 2022, the Bluesky team assured users that they would also have the ability to adjust the algorithms that determine the content presented to them.
