About nostal

You made social media.
It’s time it gave back.

This is the story of why we started nostal, and the promise we’re building it on.

Chapter 01

The deal we never agreed to

Social media started as a way to share moments with the people we care about. Somewhere along the way, the deal changed.

Our photos filled the feeds. Our attention was sold to advertisers. Every friend we invited made the platforms bigger and more valuable. The networks grew into some of the richest companies on earth, built entirely on what we gave them for free.

And in return, we got likes.

A simple question

What if the people who make social media actually shared in what it’s worth?

Not through a creator fund only the biggest accounts can reach. Not as an afterthought. Built in from day one, for everyone: the creator posting every day, the friend who always comments first, the person who brings the whole group along.

So we built nostal

nostal is a social app where you own what you create, earn rewards for what you do and get rewarded for bringing your crew.

We started where people already are: a simple app anyone can pick up, no wallet and no jargon. Step by step, we’re moving to Web3, where your rewards become nostal tokens and your content lives on the blockchain, owned by you.

Our mission

To give social media back to the people who make it.

Every post, every like, every invite builds something. We’re making sure the people doing the building share in it.

What we believe

Six beliefs we
won’t trade away.

  1. 01

    Attention is valuable.

    Your time online is worth something. It should count for you.

  2. 02

    Creators deserve ownership.

    What you make is yours. Your audience and identity too.

  3. 03

    Growth should be shared.

    The people who build a community should benefit when it grows.

  4. 04

    Web3 should feel invisible.

    Ownership without the jargon. It should just work.

  5. 05

    Honesty over hype.

    We tell you what’s live, what’s next and what’s still a vision.

  6. 06

    Built with our community.

    Early members don’t just use nostal. They help shape it.

The movement so far

You’re not the only one who feels this way.
