Get quick answers to the most common questions about Rospeak, our mission, technology, and community.
Rospeak is a decentralized free speech platform built on Sonic blockchain that separates content storage from content presentation. Like the Rosetta Stone decoded ancient languages, Rospeak decodes suppressed voices and makes them heard in public discourse.
Instead of traditional social media where one company controls both your content AND how it's displayed, Rospeak stores content permanently on the blockchain while allowing multiple "presentation platforms" to compete in displaying that content with different features, algorithms, and community standards.
[Creator] → [Platform Controls Everything] → [Audience]
↳ Can censor content
↓ Controls monetization
↓ Owns audience relationship
↓ Can ban creators
[Creator] → [Blockchain Storage] → [Multiple Presentation Platforms] → [Audiences]
↳ Permanent content ↳ Platform A (General)
↓ Direct monetization ↳ Platform B (Niche)
↓ Creator ownership ↳ Platform C (Regional)
↓ Censorship resistant ↳ Platform D (Professional)
Key Differences:
- True Ownership: Your content lives on blockchain forever, not at the mercy of platform policies
- Censorship Resistance: No single entity can remove your content from the blockchain
- Multiple Access Points: Your audience can find you through many different platforms
- Direct Monetization: Earn directly from supporters without platform fees
- Creator Sovereignty: You control your content, audience, and revenue streams
Development Timeline:
- ✅ Phase 1 (Jan-Mar 2025): Foundation & Planning - COMPLETED
- 🔄 Phase 2 (Apr-Jun 2025): Documentation & Community - IN PROGRESS
- 📅 Phase 3 (Jul-Sep 2025): MVP Development - Smart contracts, frontend, API
- 📅 Phase 4 (Oct-Nov 2025): Grant applications and partnerships

- 🚀 Phase 6 (Feb 2026+): Public launch and ecosystem growth
Current Status: You can join our community now to learn, contribute, and prepare for launch!
Yes and No - Here's the nuanced answer:
- Blockchain Storage: Once content is published to Sonic blockchain, no single entity can remove it
- Creator Access: You can always access and monetize your content directly
- Cross-Platform Reach: Even if one presentation platform blocks you, others can still display your content
- Ownership Rights: Your content ownership is cryptographically guaranteed
- Presentation Level: Each platform can choose what content to display or promote
- Local Compliance: Platforms can comply with regional laws and community standards
- User Choice: Individuals can filter, block, or curate their own content experience
- Community Standards: Different communities can have different norms and guidelines
The Result: True free speech protection combined with practical moderation for different communities and legal jurisdictions.
Rospeak enables direct creator monetization through multiple revenue streams:
- Instant Payments: Real-time compensation through Sonic blockchain's FeeM system
- Micro-transactions: Supporters can send small amounts easily
- No Platform Fees: Direct creator-to-supporter payments
- Global Currency: Works worldwide without traditional payment barriers
- Pay-Per-View: Charge for access to premium content
- Subscriptions: Monthly recurring revenue from dedicated supporters
- Tips & Donations: One-time support from appreciative audience
- Sponsored Content: Brand partnerships and advertising revenue
- NFT Sales: Sell unique digital assets and collectibles
Creator Revenue (85%) → Direct to creator wallet
Network Fees (10%) → Sonic blockchain validators
Development (3%) → Platform development fund
Governance (2%) → Community treasury
Key Advantage: Since your content exists on multiple presentation platforms, you can earn from ALL of them simultaneously, maximizing your revenue potential.
