More than a link—a decentralized canvas to share your story, your work, and your life—in minutes.
With normal websites, your data is stored in a single location.
With Portrait, your data is securely hostedall around the world.
Not a feed. Not a social network. A Portrait.
Finally, a place on the internet that feels like you.
Your Portrait is your own space on the internet.
Built on a network of people, not platforms.
A global network for your identity, powered by people.
On social media, you follow each other, on Portrait you host each other—without relying on centralized platforms. This is how the web should have been—you're helping bring it back.
Coming soon
We’re experimenting with a new kind of reward system—one that values presence over performance. Early hosts on the public testnet will quietly unlock more than just access.
Rewards require active hosting.
Hosting is what makes Portrait different
What if the internet wasn’t made of platforms—but people, securing each other’s data?
Most websites sit on distant servers, rented from corporations you'll never meet. Portrait flips that model: your page lives through others. When someone visits your Portrait, it’s served not by a data center, but by people—peers around the world who keep your presence online. Hosting becomes something shared, almost human. It’s not just more resilient—it’s more meaningful. Built on the Open Internet Protocol and designed to work on all devices.

Designed for anyone. Open to the world.
Unbreakable, truly yours.
Your data is yours, secured by aerospace-grade cryptography.
Your Portrait is cryptographically signed with your Ethereum key—verifiable, tamper-proof, and portable. Even if platforms vanish, your presence remains intact and publicly provable.
Lightweight, by design.
Easy to use, easy to host. No servers required. Just you.
Portrait runs on lightweight edge nodes—browsers, apps, and devices you already use. Hosting is distributed, efficient, and forgiving, making the network accessible to anyone, anywhere.
Built on protocols, not platforms.
Open source, open standards. No vendor lock-in. Open Internet Protocol.
The Open Internet Protocol is a decentralized protocol designed for social applications and interoperability. Your content lives on open infrastructure—not inside walled gardens—so it remains usable across platforms and time.
Portrait is built on top of the Open Internet Protocol (OIP), a decentralized protocol designed for social applications.
Everything you upload is stored securely on the decentralized web.
What you share stays yours—accessible, resilient, and free from gatekeepers. Stored across the decentralized web, built to last.
