Sequel

A platform for building shared digital spaces - social, collaborative, or analytical - where participants connect their own data environments instead of uploading data into a central platform.

Sequel is Piprate’s next-generation social platform designed for the AI age: privacy-first, user-owned, and built for long-term control of your digital life. Instead of trapping your content in a platform database, Sequel keeps every post, photo, and reply in your personal data wallet - with sharing controlled by you. Powered by MetaLocker, Sequel uses secure, privacy-preserving data exchange so your information stays under your control - by design, not by policy.

As AI becomes embedded in everyday products, data is increasingly copied, mined, and repurposed - often without clear consent or meaningful control. Sequel is built on a simple premise: your content should remain yours, and participation in online communities should not require surrendering ownership, privacy, or future rights.

What makes Sequel different

Enhanced privacy and security

Share what you want, when you want, with who you want. Sequel keeps your data in your own secure vault, with a model designed around user control rather than platform access.

True ownership and portability

Sequel stores your content in a personal data wallet, not in a centralised platform database - and commits to no user tracking, so you can take your data with you.

Seamless support for multiple identities

Maintain distinct personas for different parts of life - professional, personal, creative, or anonymous - without juggling accounts. Sequel is built to keep these identities separate and usable in different contexts.

Fediverse-ready by design

Sequel supports ActivityPub, enabling interoperability with decentralised social networks in the Fediverse ecosystem.

How Sequel works

Your permanent, personal store of social history

At the core is MetaLocker: private, permanent, bi-directional communication channels (“lockers”) that enable peer-to-peer exchange.

Spaces: run Sequel for a community, a company, or a niche group

Sequel server software can be deployed as independent instances called spaces - so communities and organisations can run Sequel where it suits them.

Run independently or via one shared ledger for network-wide trust

Spaces can be deployed independently or connect and synchronise through a single distributed ledger, so access, edits, and permissions can be verified and audited across instances - without a central gatekeeper.

Who Sequel is for

  • Communities that want a platform they can run, not rent
  • Creators who want ownership, provenance, and control over distribution
  • Anyone who wants a digital life that’s portable, sovereign, and AI-resistant
