It is built on the http://tent.io http://tent.io protocol which is like Despora (https://despora.de/ https://despora.de/) or StatusNet (http://status.net/ http://status.net/), where it is a decentralized social network. This use to be called http://tent.is http://tent.is, which was the first working 'example' twitter-like application of the protocol, but now I am assuming they wanted to create a business model, so they will offer storage on top of their twitter-like app, which will be accessed via tent protocol by other applications to store content (photos, videos, status messages, etc.)
