Quick Fact
Minds rewards users with tokens for their engagement and contributions, letting them boost posts, tip creators, and unlock premium features—all while maintaining full control over their data.
Minds is a decentralized, open-source social network that prioritizes internet freedom, free expression, and user sovereignty. It provides a censorship-resistant space for creators, activists, and communities to share content without fear of deplatforming or algorithmic suppression. Posts appear chronologically by default, with no data-selling or behavioral tracking.
Minds features a native token system (based on Ethereum) that rewards users for engagement and contribution. Tokens can be used to boost posts, tip creators, or unlock Minds+ premium subscriptions. Content creators can earn directly from their audience, offering exclusive content in exchange for monthly support—similar to Patreon but decentralized.
The platform is fully open source and offers privacy-first tools including encrypted chat, anonymous posting, and off-chain storage options. Minds is also working toward federation with the Fediverse (ActivityPub), allowing interoperability with platforms like Mastodon. This aligns with their mission to create a freer, user-owned internet.
