Introducing Bluesky Protocol Services

Bluesky has announced the launch of its Protocol Services, expanding its decentralized social networking infrastructure.

Bluesky launched its Protocol Services, enabling developers to build decentralized social apps on the open AT Protocol. Key features include independent account hosting, custom feeds, and cross-service interoperability. Users retain data portability and algorithmic choice. The move aims to shift control from centralized platforms to individuals. Early adopters can deploy personal or community servers, while existing Bluesky apps remain compatible. The protocol uses a federated architecture, allowing any developer to create moderation tools or recommendation engines. This rollout follows months of testing and expands Bluesky’s vision beyond a single app into a broader ecosystem.
