what's Soshi?

Soshi is a Layer 1 blockchain on Avalanche, designed as a decentralized social protocol that rewards users for meaningful engagement through reputation-based incentives, transparent governance, and monetization tools. It powers social infrastructure with decentralized compute, validators, and tokenized incentives, enabling communities to own their value creation rather than platforms extracting it. Integrated directly with MeWe's 20M+ userbase, it allows seamless tipping, premium access, and community treasuries using its native token.[[1]](https://soshi.network/)[[5]](https://developer.soshi.network/) EVM-compatible for developer-friendly dApps like messaging, forums, and creator tools, Soshi emphasizes on-chain reputation portability—users carry profiles, connections, and credentials across apps. Governance via veSoshi staking ensures long-term alignment, while modular APIs support interoperability and efficient resource allocation for healthy group dynamics.[[1]](https://soshi.network/)[[5]](https://developer.soshi.network/)

Soshi builds on MeWe, a platform with 21 million existing users.
