Bluesky is developed based on the distributed network protocol ' AT Protocol '. All specifications of the AT Protocol are publicly available, and developers can use the AT Protocol to develop their own Bluesky clients or develop their own web services that are different from Bluesky.

Many Bluesky clients have already been developed, and there are several Japanese apps such as ' TOKIMEKI ,' ' Zopen ,' and ' Soratama .'

There is also a new service called '

WhiteWind ' that allows you to post blogs using the AT Protocol mechanism.

Skyseed Fund was established with the aim of supporting products and developers using the AT Protocol as mentioned above. It was founded by Peter Wang , known as the co-founder of Anaconda, and had an initial capital of $1 million (150 million yen).

For the time being, Skyseed Fund will focus on improving the AT Protocol ecosystem, focusing on areas such as 'data privacy and local-first experiences,' 'user-centric design for parents and small communities,' and 'data protocols to respect user intent and data rights regarding AI and social media.'

According to Wang, several developers have already sent product demos and prototypes. Developers interested in Skyseed Fund are encouraged to contact Skyseed Fund's official Bluesky account (@skyseed.fund) .
