About Soapbox
Building a better internet
Soapbox builds open source tools for freedom online. At a time when a handful of corporations control the internet's most important spaces, Soapbox is building the alternative: decentralized social media, censorship-resistant fundraising, encrypted communication, and creative tools that anyone can use and own. Everything Soapbox makes is free and built on open protocols, in service of an open culture and a world where technology works for the people, not against them.
Our Mission
Every project we build is guided by three core principles that shape how we approach technology and community.
Promoting Freedom
We believe in open source software that empowers users to control their own data and digital experiences.
Empowering Communities
Building tools that help communities form, grow, and thrive in the decentralized web.
Inspiring Creativity
Creating platforms and tools that unlock new possibilities for creators and innovators worldwide.
What We Build
From social platforms to humanitarian tools, everything we make is free, open source, and built on decentralized protocols.
Decentralized Social Platforms
