Our story

Social media can be better. We're building the proof.

Skriza is a sovereign European social network — serious, conscious and built for depth. This page is about the why: what drives us, what we refuse to do, and where we're heading.

Why we build Skriza

Today's platforms are optimised for one thing: your attention — at any cost. Outrage beats knowledge, virality beats credibility, and the price is paid by users, families and public debate.

We believe a social network can reward the opposite: depth, credibility and positive resonance. Built in Europe, under European law, with incentives that respect people instead of exploiting them. We call it conscious social networking.

Depth over noise. Quality over reach. Sovereignty over convenience.

Our path

We build in the open — this is where Skriza stands.

  1. The idea

    Done

    Frustration with the attention economy turns into a plan: a serious, European alternative that rewards quality instead of addiction.

  2. Building the foundation

    Done

    Feed, profiles, resonance system, EU-hosted infrastructure — and Skriza Shield, our own sovereign bot protection.

  3. Closed beta

    Now

    Testers join in small cohorts, stress-test the platform and shape it with direct feedback.

  4. Open beta

    Next

    Verified institutions, parental controls and public access.

  5. EU-wide launch

    Next

    A sovereign home for people and institutions across Europe — multilingual and open.

What we stand for

Four values every product decision is measured against.

Depth over noise

The feed rewards knowledge, nuance and real exchange — not outrage and shallow trends.

Credibility over reach

Verified people and institutions, resonance that must be earned. Trust is the currency here.

Sovereignty by design

European servers, European law, our own infrastructure down to bot protection. Where we still depend on services outside Europe, we name them. No back doors.

Protection for the young

Educational content first. Moderation and parental controls are being built — a safe space to grow, before we open.

What we deliberately don't do

A network is defined as much by what it refuses. Our red lines — and what we do instead.

Questions we hear a lot

Straight answers to the things people ask us first.

How does the resonance system work?

Resonance is earned reputation: strong contributions and real exchange increase your standing and visibility — comparable to karma, but serious and gaming-proof. It builds trust and reach, never money.

Why a closed beta?

Because culture is set early. We onboard in small cohorts so quality, safety and moderation grow with the community — and every tester's feedback actually gets heard.

How will Skriza sustain itself?

Core use stays free. Creators and institutions get optional paid features, and advertising — where it exists — is strictly curated, contextual and never aimed at minors. We never sell your data.

What does "sovereign" actually mean here?

Core data and legal venue in the European legal space, our own infrastructure down to bot protection (Skriza Shield). Where we still depend on services outside Europe — currently a CDN and, after consent, analytics — we write it down instead of glossing over it. Digital sovereignty means no hidden dependencies.
