About
About DeSo Directory
DeSo Directory is a community run portal for discovering apps, wallets, and websites built on DeSo. The goal is to make it easy for users and builders to find the useful parts of the ecosystem.
Instead of storing everything in a single admin database, the directory is designed around on-chain associations and signed user ownership, which fits the DeSo model.
What makes it different
- Community-driven discovery for the ecosystem
- Simple forms for adding and verifying projects
- Designed to support DeSo identity and on-chain association records
Submission guidelines
- Only list apps, tools, games, or services that are relevant to DeSo or the broader creator economy.
- Use a real website or app URL, no spam, fake services, or misleading listings.
- Choose the categories that best match the listing.
- Do not submit duplicate entries for the same project with minor wording changes.
How it works
1
Connect identity
User authenticates with DeSo Identity.
2
Submit a listing
Name, URL, and up to 3 categories are signed directly into an on-chain association.
3
Write an association
The public key signs a structured record containing the listing itself.
4
Read it back
The web app rebuilds the entire directory by querying these associations from the chain and replaying them — nothing about a listing is stored anywhere except DeSo itself.
