# Earth Hub

![](img/earthhub0.png)

Earth Hub is a novel way how to re-invent how the social networks work based on existing protocols and apps.

There are very good protocols out there, such as:

- Matrix
- ActivityPub
- Nostr

Each have their own speciality and the app support by now is marvelous.

> More than 280,000,000 users are now on decentralized platforms based on the 3 above chosen protocols.

## There are still some elements slowing it down

- Monetizatio
  - No monetization of the hosters of the servers
- Complexity
  - Complexity to install and maintain a server
- Different protocols
  - Not being interlinked, they need more bridges
- Search limited
  - Hard to find users and define your interest groups
- Redundancy
  - Hard to know with certainty if your data is safe

## How We Resolve These Issues

### Monetization

- Automatic micropayment:
  - Thanks to Earth Wallet micropayments are done to automatically to reward the relays, nodes and bandwidth points for utilization.
- Minimal cost:
  - Having full blown sovereign social network app capabilities doesn't have to be expensive: a couple of USD per month should be enough. *There is no such thing as a free lunch!.*
- Fulfilled customers:
  - Customers will not feel it, they will only pay for what they use which will be super small.

### Complexity

Earth Hub adds the following:

- Single sign on
- Unified Naming System (UNS)
- No need to maintain/install nodes
- The Mycelium Network interconnects all nodes over all protocols and provides an ultra safe connectivity for all
- All is done with full self healing capabilities

### How to Find Users

It's easy to find users with Earth Hub.

- At each Hub, we do single sign on and make it super easy for people to find each other

### Redundancy

With EarthHub, all data is stored on a storage system (quantum safe) which makes sure data can never be corrupted nor lost.

## Additional Features

We will be able to add personal e-book and website publishing platform with support for CND in Mycelium.

We set a S3 server as a backend for all the above (also the backup of your social media exposure).
