About Ureka.Social
Ureka is a decentralized social network built on the Hive blockchain — a fast, feeless and community-powered protocol designed to put users first.
Unlike conventional social platforms, the Ureka community is fully committed to freedom of expression, honest connection, and conscious evolution. Here, your voice matters, your actions earn real rewards, and your presence helps shape a better future — for yourself and for others.
At Ureka, you own your account and your content - there is no central body that can delete them from the Hive blockchain! The regulation of post quality is achieved through the concensus voting mechanisms within the Hive blockchain.
Please Note: Ureka is currently in active early development and testing. Some features may not work as intended. You can provide feedback on your experiences under this post as comments. Thankyou.

In a fast-moving world, slowing down to understand before acting is evolutionary. The Ureka Community is a space for reflection as much as it is a space for action.Protect and empower in the Web3 space
The crypto world is full of both opportunities and dangers. Ureka aims to be a decentralized platform that helps users navigate this space wisely — not through control or censorship, but through tools, education, and transparency. Ureka recognizes that people have different intentions and aims to ensure that every individual learns from their own actions in a way that’s constructive and empowering.Choose sovereignty over domination
Ureka encourages self-governance and mutual respect. Problems can be transformed — not with violence or manipulation, but with insight, accountability and creative resolution.
Why Use The Hive Blockchain?
Hive provides the ideal foundation for Ureka. It’s fast, scalable and decentralized — with a proven rewards model that allows users to earn cryptocurrency for their contributions without fees or middlemen. It’s censorship-resistant and community-governed, aligning closely with Ureka’s core values.

Whether you're a writer, artist, coder, philosopher, peacemaker - or just someone looking for a more meaningful way to connect — Ureka welcomes you!
Let’s build something that heals, inspires & empowers.
Ureka is not just a decentralised social network — it’s a movement, a mindset and a means for genuine liberation.
Ureka exists to help us to reclaim our birthright of freedom — freedom of thought, freedom of speech and the freedom to evolve. It was created in response to a world where centralised control, censorship and manipulation have become the norm rather than the exception. This control has deeply distorted our understanding of truth, power and even of ourselves.
Unlike traditional centralised social network platforms (web 2.0) where users have little to no say or defence against gatekeepers and censorship, Hive’s strength lies in its decentralisation — allowing the community itself to regulate the behaviour of gatekeepers and any policing mechanisms. This means that while forms of moderation and influence exist, they are accountable to the collective - giving users more control and agency over their own experience.
Built on the Hive blockchain, Ureka enables users to collectively shape the social and economic landscape through upvotes and downvotes. Upvotes lead to payouts in cryptocurrency that can be used to transact in the real world!
Downvotes are the balance that reduces payouts and that can help keep spam and low-quality content in check. They can, unfortunately, also be used to maliciously reduce visibility and rewards, which some see as a form of censorship. So, although Hive’s reward system is designed to reflect community merit, it isn’t completely immune to influence by those with the most resources or motive.
To help address these challenges, Ureka plans to launch its own layer 2 token designed to overcome some of the limitations inherent even in decentralized systems — ensuring that authentic voices and quality content receive fairer rewards, no matter their backing.
In a world rife with manipulation, **Ureka is a beacon for reclaiming freedom **— one decentralised vote at a time!
