- The AT Protocol is a data network where posts, likes, follows, and profiles are all represented as strongly typed JSON with shared schemas.
- Everything in the network is hyperlinked with URLs and content-IDs for strong interlinking, and everyone posts from their own account.
- There is a public firehose for live activity, allowing users to build feeds, bots, search engines, or applications without needing an API key.
- Projects like bsky.storage enable automated data backups to storage networks and provide UI for PLC identity backup and recovery, giving users stronger control over their online future without self-hosting a PDS.
