Time-based, algorithm-free feed. You only see posts of Accounts you choose to follow. Posted Content automatically disappears 24 hours after it is posted.

You can submit your post for amplification. Amplified post is not an ad targeted to a specific audience. Instead, if your post is approved, subject to our sole discretion, everyone on webPunk will see it. Amplification is a paid fixed fee based feature. We reserve the right to change this fee at any time. If we do, the new fee will apply only to future transactions and will be clearly shown before you complete the action. Once you submit your post for amplification, funds are deducted from your Wallet and are stored in a smart contract. If the post is approved, the smart contract finalizes payment; if rejected, funds are automatically refunded.

Real-time messaging supports adding friends, communicating with users through direct messages, creating and joining group conversations, and using party invites. Messaging is based on theXMTP protocol with end-to-end encryption. We do not view message content. Message data, including media, may be stored using Railway and Pinata.
