Authenticated Transfer Protocol

atproto can't be controlled by any one organization due to its federated nature - various parts of the system that communicate with each other can have multiple people running them

is merely a app running on a distributed protocol called
ATProto
, and its core consists of a triangular structure of PDS (Personal Data Server), Relay (stream aggregation), and AppView (API/search)
