Haibu is a decentralized social network, a place where people can share their thoughts, ideas, and experiences through posts, comments, and interactions. Built on the Celestia network, Haibu provides a secure, transparent, and community-driven alternative to traditional platforms. Unlike centralized networks that control content and decisions, Haibu operates with a DAO-like governance model, allowing users to collectively shape the platform’s future.

Our mission is to redefine social networking by giving users control over their data, interactions, and governance. Our vision is to create a social ecosystem where engagement is rewarded, community-driven moderation ensures fairness, and decentralization guarantees freedom of expression without reliance on a central authority.

• 🗳️ DAO Governance: Haibu is community-driven, meaning key decisions such as feature implementations are made through voting. Our governance token, $HAI, determines voting power. Users with more tokens have a greater impact on decisions, ensuring that the most engaged contributors shape the platform’s future.

• 🏆 Gamified Engagement: Users earn $HAI tokens by actively participating in the platform. Every three months, new campaigns are introduced, offering unique opportunities to earn additional tokens. As users accumulate tokens, they level up, gaining more influence in governance decisions.

• 💻 Open-Source Development & Rewards: Haibu is fully open-source, encouraging developers to contribute by solving issues and improving the platform. Contributors can claim bounties and also receive $HAI tokens as rewards for meaningful contributions.

• 💬 Familiar Social Interactions: Post "Hai" (similar to tweets), like, comment, and share content while enjoying a decentralized and censorship resistant experience.

• 🔒 Blockchain-Powered Security: Built on Celestia and powered by Chopin's Framework, Haibu ensures data integrity, privacy, and protection against censorship. Unlike centralized platforms where corporations control user data, Haibu provides a truly decentralized and user-owned experience. 🚀

Haibu is built using cutting-edge Web3 technologies to ensure decentralization, scalability, and security:

• Frontend: Next.js framework for a dynamic, responsive user experience.
• Backend: Express.js, Node.js (with TypeScript), and Prisma-ORM for efficient and scalable data management.
• Onchain: Secure integration with the Celestia network and Chopin Framework.
• SQL → Manages structured data efficiently to ensure smooth user interactions. Data Schema

Our focus is on delivering a solid and functional MVP by the end of Celestia´s Mammothon, which will include the core social networking features, DAO governance prototype, and engagement system.

Future iterations will introduce:

• 🚀 UX/UI Enhancements: Improving design and user experience based on community feedback.
• 🔐 Advanced Security Measures: Strengthening privacy controls and data protection.
• 📈 Monetization Expansion: Introducing targeted advertising as key revenue streams.
• 🌍 Community Tools: Developing additional governance mechanisms and interactive features to expand Haibu’s ecosystem.

Haibu will generate revenue through a freemium monetization model that balances user experience and sustainability:

• Subscription Fees: Premium users will have access to enhanced features and an ad-free experience.
• NFT Marketplace: A place for users to buy Haibu´s exclusive digital assets.

Haibu is open source, and we have several repositories available for contribution. Each repository has specific issues that we need help with, and we encourage developers to check out the available issues and get involved.

• haibu-landing-page: The official landing page of Haibu.
• haibu-frontend: The frontend code for the Haibu platform.
• haibu-backend: The backend that powers the Haibu platform.
• haibu-clicks: Our first gamified campaign, where users can participate in activities and earn rewards.

If you're interested in contributing to any of these repositories, take a look at the open issues. You can apply by explaining how you would resolve the issue, who you are, and why you want to contribute.

Once you're assigned an issue, make sure to fork the repository and create a new branch depending on the task you're working on. For example, use:

• feature/ for new features
