Difuzzion

Getting Started

The basics of joining the network. Learn how to create your account, set up your identity, navigate the platform, and publish your first content on Difuzzion.

What is Difuzzion?

Difuzzion is a decentralized content distribution platform. Unlike traditional platforms where central servers store and serve content, on Difuzzion the users themselves share content among each other through a peer-to-peer (P2P) network.

Your browser acts as a node in the network: when you watch a video or view an image, you automatically help distribute that content to other users. This approach removes single points of failure, resists censorship, and gives you full control over your digital identity.

Creating your Account

To register, visit difuzzion.com and tap "Register". Choose a username (lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores only) and create a password of at least 8 characters.

During registration you will receive a 12-word recovery phrase displayed in a 3×4 grid. This phrase is the only way to recover your account if you lose your password — write it down on paper or download the .txt file using the "Download" button.

Pro Tip

Your browser generates a cryptographic key pair automatically. The private key is encrypted with your password before it leaves your device — the server never sees it in plain text.

Logging In

Go to difuzzion.com/auth/login/, enter your username and password, and tap Login. Only one active web session is allowed per account — logging in from another browser will close the previous session with a "Session Replaced" message.

If you enter an incorrect password more than 5 times, a Proof of Work challenge activates: your browser must solve a computational puzzle before the next attempt. This is an anti-brute-force measure and may take a few extra seconds.

Account Recovery

If you forget your password, tap "Forgot your password?" on the login screen. Enter your username and your 12-word recovery phrase in the correct order. If they match, you can set a new password immediately.

Without the recovery phrase there is no way to regain access. Difuzzion does not store your private key in plain text and has no access to your seed phrase.

Navigating the Dashboard

After logging in you reach the Dashboard. Difuzzion works as a single-page application — when you switch sections, only the central content area reloads; the full page does not refresh.

The interface is organized as follows:

  • Top bar — Search, notifications (🔔), publish shortcut (📤), and profile icon (👤).
  • Left sidebar — Home, Notifications, Publish, Profile, plus a list of accounts you follow.
  • Central area — The dynamic feed or whichever view is active.
  • Player bar — A mini player at the bottom for audio/video playback.

Pro Tip

Use the integrated ← Back button to return to the previous view within your session. The navigation history is maintained internally by the app.

Publishing your First Content

Navigate to Publish in the sidebar. You can create a text post or upload media (video, audio, or image up to 2 GB).

When uploading media, fill in the title (required), description, category, language, and visibility (Public, Private, or Hidden). The file is automatically split into 240 KB chunks, each hashed with SHA-256 for integrity. The chunks are stored in your browser's IndexedDB and shared with the network immediately.

As long as your browser tab is open, you are "seeding" your content. If you close the browser, your peer enters a 3-minute grace period. If no one else has the content after that window, it is marked inactive. Content that remains inactive for 15 days is permanently purged.

Understanding the Feed

The Home feed offers three tabs:

  • For You — Content from accounts you follow plus popular items with active peers.
  • Explore — All public content available on the network.
  • Live — Active live streams with connected peers.

You can filter by content type (Video, Audio, Image, Post) and by category. The feed uses infinite scroll — 20 items load per batch as you scroll down.
