The Authenticated Transfer Protocol is an improved form of the previous ADX Protocol.
The ‘AT Protocol’ will be a new federated social network that will integrate ideas from the latest and most advanced decentralized technologies.
The new technologies will make the platform simple, and fast.
A key feature of BlueSky will be to allow users to move between several social media platforms through a high-quality browser in its app.

According to Dorsey, the platform is not owned by any organization and is contributed to, by as many intellectuals as possible.
He also added that any company trying to own the very fundamentals for social media or public data shall be a competitor to the new platform, BlueSky.
