Versia
Federation, simpler
A simple, extensible federated protocol for building useful applications. Formerly known as Lysand.
Made by developers
Versia is designed and maintained by the developers of the Versia Server, which uses Versia for federation. This community could include you! Check out our Git repository to see how you can contribute.
JSON-based APIs
Simple JSON objects are used to represent all data.
MIT licensed
Versia is licensed under the MIT License, which allows you to use it for any purpose.
Built-in namespaced extensions
Extensions for common use cases are built-in, such as custom emojis and reactions
Easy to implement
Versia is designed to be easy to implement in any language.
Signed by default
All requests are signed using advanced cryptographic algorithms.
No vendor lock-in
Standardization is heavy and designed to break vendor lock-in.
Tested in production :)
We know it works well, because we use it in our own projects.
Official SDKs
Official SDKs are available for TypeScript
Try it out
