Welcome to the official documentation for **OpenMSCP** — an open-source protocol designed to enable modular, decentralized, and user-owned social networks. OpenMSCP offers developers the essential building blocks to create the next generation of social networks using modular communication, decentralized profiles, blockchain integration, and user-owned data.

OpenMSCP is not a platform but rather the **backbone** to building decentralized social systems, empowering developers to create custom solutions using our flexible protocol.
