What is Blacksky Algorithms?

Every online community should control its own destiny. We’re building the intercommunal net where communities can use decentralized tools to govern themselves, pool resources, and stay safe on their own terms.

Safe Spaces, Your Way

Build communities where people actually want to hang out. Set your own rules, moderate content together, and create spaces that work for your community.

Fund Things Together

Pool money for what matters to your community. Whether it’s covering server costs, paying creators, or funding local projects.

Decide Together

Make decisions as a community, not as subjects of a platform. Vote on changes, allocate resources democratically, and govern your space with decentralized tools built for collective decision-making.

Meet the 2026 Open Payments Accelerator Cohort

Blacksky Algorithms (opens in a new tab) is building native payment infrastructure for the AT Protocol to enable peer-to-peer payments for mutual aid and community support. By embedding payments directly into the social networks where communities already organize and communicate, the project aims to make financial support more accessible and seamless. Its interoperable approach reduces dependence on separate bank apps, crowdfunding platforms, and external payment links, creating a more connected payment experience across platforms.
