Minds - Social network freedom & privacy

Minds is a social network that operates on open-source principles, focusing on the importance of freedom online. You can express yourself openly, safeguard your privacy, earn cryptocurrency rewards, and regain authority over your social media experience.

Our objective is to enhance global discussions by promoting Internet freedom.

What we mean by Internet freedom includes:

■ The right to free speech

■ Ensuring user privacy

■ Committing to open source development

■ Upholding self-sovereignty

■ Enabling governance by the community

■ Supporting a crypto-based economy

Our software and algorithms are transparently shared as open-source, emphasizing accountability and clarity. We base our content policy on the principles of the First Amendment, managed by a community jury to reduce bias and censorship.

We hold the belief that meaningful conversations can only take place if individuals have a platform to voice their thoughts.

Earn cryptocurrency and share in revenue

The true worth of a social network stems from its community. It’s only fair that you receive recognition for your role in the network's development and success.

Minds provides you with MINDS Tokens (ERC-20) daily for producing popular content, referring others, or contributing liquidity. These tokens allow you to promote your content (1 token = 1,000 impressions) or show appreciation to content creators by sending tips, which also grants access to exclusive benefits.

Consider upgrading to Minds+ to enjoy premium content and submit your own material for a portion of our revenue stream.

For an optimal experience, we suggest using Android versions 12, 11, or 10.

What is Minds?

Founded by Bill Ottman in 2011, Minds is a free, open source, crowdfunded, highly innovative and encrypted social networking platform. On Minds, people are rewarded with digital currency for their activities and can exchange that currency for ad space or use it to trade with others on the site. The goal of Minds is to help create a free and open Internet where privacy is ensured and people are fairly compensated for their efforts online with viral reach and revenue opportunity.

Can I invest in Minds?

Minds is currently a privately held company, but took a major step in becoming community-owned when it raised over $1 million from over 1,500 investors worldwide in a SEC Regulation CF equity-crowdfunding campaign. Minds will make all users aware of future investment opportunities when they are available.
