π§ Peer Network β Developer Wiki Home
Welcome to the official Wiki for Peer Network β a decentralized, token-powered social platform.
This page serves as the single orientation point for new developers, internal contributors, and external collaborators working across the projectβs backend, mobile/web clients, and blockchain components.
π What is Peer Network?
Peer Network is a blockchain-integrated social network where users:
- Post content (text, images, videos)
- Earn tokens for engagement
- Chat and connect in real-time
- Monetize participation via a decentralized reward system
βοΈ Under the hood:
- Users earn Gems for actions
- Gems are converted into Peer Tokens
- Tokens are tracked on the Solana blockchain
- Up to 96% of revenue is redistributed to users
𧱠Architecture Overview
The system is made up of multiple coordinated repositories:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
peer_backend |
Main GraphQL API: users, content, chat, wallet, moderation |
peer_android_frontend |
Kotlin-based native Android app |
peer_ios_frontend |
Swift-based native iOS app |
peer_web_frontend |
Web client for browser access |
solana_client |
Blockchain integration via Solana smart contracts |
Each client connects to the backend via GraphQL, and the backend handles blockchain interaction and rewards.
π Versioning Strategy
We use semantic versioning across all repos:
β Definitions
-
MAJOR (e.g. 2.0.0)
Breaking architectural changes (e.g. full rewrite, token system redesign) -
MINOR (e.g. 1.5.0)
New features (backwards-compatible)- β Backend leads MINOR version
- β All frontend repos align (Android, iOS, Web)
-
PATCH (e.g. 1.5.1)
Bugfixes or local changes β donβt require other repos to sync
π Example:
- Backend releases
1.5.0 - Frontend clients update to
1.5.0 - WebApp fixes a small bug β
1.5.1
