Centralized platforms fold. dchan is infrastructure that can't.

Every centralized service eventually capitulates. To shareholders demanding growth. To governments demanding compliance. To licensors demanding revenue share. The question isn't if—it's when.

dchan exists because there must be infrastructure that can't capitulate. No jannies. No kill switch. No throat to choke.

Two layers. No overlap. No single point of failure.

METADATA LAYER Edamame Chain	Cosmos SDK blockchain. CometBFT consensus. Stores infohashes, boards, posts. Transactions are FREE. Speaking costs nothing.
CONTENT LAYER BitTorrent v1 DHT	Mainline DHT. Your mom's laptop and 47 strangers'. No validator can block an infohash. No operator can stop a seeder.
BRIDGE Edamame Torrent	BitTorrent sidecar + HTTP gateway. Connects chain to swarm. Seeding policies are local. Your node, your rules.

Identity: Ed25519 keypairs, soy-prefixed addresses. Sovereign pseudonymity, not platform permission.

Reputation: MISO tokens. Soulbound. Burned to signal, never traded. If you don't seed, you don't matter.

This separation is structural. Centralized platforms fold because content and control occupy the same infrastructure—seize the server, delete the files, enforce compliance. dchan splits these. The chain is a public ledger for metadata. The mainline DHT is a permissionless network for content. Pressure on one doesn't reach the other.

The protocol cannot adjudicate. Users post, seeders serve, courts decide legality. The swarm decides persistence—as it has since the dawn of BitTorrent. Content lives forever, or until everyone rage-quits seeding. (F)
