 Decentralized social built with Nostr and powered by Starknet account abstraction.

+## Origin story
+
+The name "Joyboy" is inspired by the character from the manga series "One Piece". Joyboy is a mysterious figure from the Void Century who left behind a treasure called the "One Piece". What if the treasure are the friends we made along the way? A decentralized social network should be a treasure trove of memories and connections.
+
+Also Joyboy refers to a figure in the Caribbean mythology, a dancing god with a constant smile.
+
+> Joyboy is considered as the personification of freedom and joy.
+
+Yes! This is what social networks should be about. A place where you can be yourself, express your thoughts and feelings, and connect with others.
+
+Freedom requires censorship resistance, and Nostr provides exactly that.
+
+## Onchain
+
+The onchain components of the project are implemented as a suite of Starknet smart contracts.
