Today we’re introducing the Open Internet Protocol. When we started Portrait, we couldn’t find a protocol that made sense. The trade-offs were too steep. Either it scaled but wasn’t open—or was open but broke at scale. So, we built OIP.

Parts of the Portrait Protocol are currently being migrated to the Open Internet Protocol and planned to complete in Q2 2025. Read more about it in our blog: https://portrait.so/blog/introducing-open-internet-protocol

Portrait and OIP are now two separate things. Portrait will always prioritize usability. OIP will remain neutral, open-source, and permissionless: a public good for all. This separation lets us move faster—while keeping the protocol credibly neutral.

Social apps ≠ social media. The first app built on OIP is Portrait—a personal website builder that’s expressive, p2p hosted, and onchain. (that's us!)

Data integrity? Signed. Identity? Tokenized. Storage? Content-addressed. Every message in OIP is cryptographically signed by the user. Every user has an onchain identity that can move between apps. Nothing gets lost in translation.

Most protocols stop at “relays.” But relays go down. Get pruned. Get rate-limited. OIP introduces caching for edge nodes—users who cache and re-serve content. Anyone can become one. You’re not just the product. You’re the network.

At its core, OIP is hybrid: Onchain smart contracts for identity + integrity. Offchain peer-to-peer network for speed + scale. Apps get the security of Ethereum, and the speed of lightweight gossip-based relays. Best of both. https://x.com/useopeninternet/status/1907709299104624892

OIP is an open-source protocol built for one thing: creating scalable, censorship-resistant, and privacy-first social applications that don’t rely on platforms. Let’s break down what makes it different.

It has been FAFO time with my new @portrait website on @base, and I am loving the platform! What do you think of the page I created? 🤔 https://portrait.so/bizarrebeasts The layout is beautifully designed and the drag-and-drop features make constructing a page super easy! 🗄️ I also saw that the @portrait team has submitted the platform to the Apple app store and integrating @coinbasewallet - cool stuff! 🔵 It is still early to grab your personal @portrait page for the next phase of the internet - only $10 one time, forever! 🫶 (featured links on my page: @slice @moxie.eth @rodeodotclub @foundation)
