The Concept of TUUP

For being as innovative and new as it is, TUUP is a relatively simple concept. As crypto/blockchain technology got increasingly popular, people stopped caring about the actual utility of the tech at work - they only cared to make quick money. Now that this futuristic technology exists in the mainstream in a now matured development setting, it's about time we took advantage of it.

TUUP allows for true decentralization & NFT creation/possesion.

There aren't really blockchain protocols that allow for either of these. At some point, someone makes a final decision to make a final change with something within the protocol itself - which is a problem. The major problem being bias. In the age of decentralized finance and related technologies, why isn't it standard practice to let open-source smart contracts run everything? Why have any human/company/entity interaction at all for storage/operations?

This is solely the documentation of both the concept & protocol of TUUP.

Frontends may be built on the protocol by anyone.

Due to true decentralization, no entity can cripple the system in any meaningful way - both technical & financial.

This includes (but is not limited to) n+1 attacks, main code overrides, interference of data, etc.

TUUP is a utilitarian protocol with infinite tokens, where value is derived from frontend development.

The more users contribute, the more valuable TUUP is.

Whales will exist.

Not that it really matters, anyhow!

TUUP began as nothing but a smart contract, and is (for the most part) purely a community-driven concept.

It's up to the community to make things with it!

TUUP is completely chain-neutral, without a need for a backend of any kind.

So long as the chains used fit the standards of this protocol, one can use any chain/network to adhere to the TUUP protocol.

Frontends can be made with anything.

TUUP frontends are completely agnostic to language, framework, & web version.

Due to completely permanent [meta]data storage, TUUP can work offline, and completely independent of existing protocols (like the Internet).

It's all just math!

There are no leaders. There is no "official" anything. There is no "official" social media or website. There is no "official" repository for TUUP, and the code can be used by any entity.

So long as the code adheres to the protocol, it's the real deal.

TUUP is a gasless protocol.

The only possible occurence of gas fees is with the minting of NFTs, and depositing/withdrawing the token - neither of which are the fault of the protocol itself.

Usernames on the network are all lowercase alphanumeric latin characters.

There are no special characters used (cyrillic, symbols, emojis, etc.)

Data is stored forever, and cannot be interfered upon by a third party of any kind.

If one wishes for content moderation, they can do so by obfuscating data from the frontend - but it can still be accessible via the protocol transaction records themselves, which are accessible to anyone.

No usernames, messages, transactions, or data on the protocol can be quarantined or blocked.

Due to everything being handled with smart contracts (renounced ownership), no entity can limit content or activity of any kind.
