BitStory is designed for use cases where durability and verifiability matter more than throughput: public commitments, long-form publishing, readable proofs of existence, and human-auditable records that must remain recoverable decades later.

Messages are stored fully on-chain and cryptographically signed, with identity deliberately separated from transaction funding. This allows authorship to remain verifiable even when messages are mirrored, sponsored, or indexed by third parties.

The protocol is intentionally minimal: no tokens, no sidechains, no smart contracts, and no off-chain state required to reconstruct messages.

Once a message is published on Bitcoin, it cannot be removed or selectively censored by any platform. At the same time, Bitcoin’s fee market provides a built-in economic filter against spam and bots, without relying on moderators, reputation systems, or content rules.

BitStory is explicitly not a platform or a social network. Any BitStory-compatible client can publish and read the same messages directly from the Bitcoin main chain.

There is a live implementation with an explorer, public API, and reference clients available to try.
