Tech Paper 2022: This paper presents HELIOS, a peer-to-peer social media platform emphasizing privacy, prosumer rewards, and independence from traditional social networks, detailing its architecture, toolset, and key features.
Abstract
The paper will present a technical platform, ‘HELIOS’, a toolset upon which peer-to-peer social media services can be easily tailored. Because of the p2p approach adopted, the social media services are independent of legacy social media platforms, such as Facebook or Twitter.
The paper will provide an overview of the underlying requirement layers and requirements for HELIOS, logical architecture, and the platform components as a whole, as well as provide in-depth description of the toolset available today and discuss about its future plans.
