Pleased to announce that an Authenticated Transfer Protocol (ATP) working group has been created at the IETF!
Grateful to everybody who participated in the BoF and chartering process. Details on next steps and how to get involved inside.

📢 Announcing the Open Social Awards ✨
Alongside PublicSpaces and Waag Futurelab, we aim to honor the work of independent builders around the world, creating innovative products for the open web!
More details below…

We've got an updated protocol roadmap out, covering the next few months.
Look forward to seeing folks at AtmosphereConf later this week!
Thrilled to be working with @bad-example.com, whom you know from the excellent @microcosm.blue tools, on making the atproto network ever more resilient

We're so excited to support @thisismissem.social's work bringing FedCM to the open social web!

Cool new feature from the @graze.social team: add personalization to your feeds. Lots of details about their approach to "composable personalization" in this post

Hey devs! Heads up, we're planning on making some changes to our image CDN tomorrow.
- Images will be served as WebP by default
- The URL format you get from the Bluesky API will change a little
You can look forward to an announcement about image quality soon 👀
XRPC requests between atproto servers are authenticated using JWTs. There are some inconsistencies in how OAuth permissions, PDS proxy headers, and JWTs all represent the "audience" of these tokens.
This proposal gives background and describes a rough solution.
Looking for rapid feedback!
Amazing this all started with a question from @danielroe.dev
It has been so exciting to see @npmx.dev come together over the past month. We're proud to offer our support — this project is just getting started. Congrats on the launch!

Congratulations to the @tangled.org team! It's exciting to see the next generation of social coding built on atproto.
We've released a self-hostable reference implementation of a PLC read-replica service to make the Atmosphere ever more decentralized. @retr0.id has details on what this all means.

For more details, check out this post by our very own @alex.bsky.team on the new atproto blog.

We've been hard at work on a new website with new guides, better docs, more translations, even our very own blog. We think it looks pretty sharp, too. It's now easier than ever to just build things with AT Protocol.

This transition is now complete.
The 'bsky.network' firehose and jetstream instances are all functional. Connected services should have transitioned smoothly, though in some situations may require a restart.
Having some difficulties during cutover that are affecting Relay consumers. Should be resolved shortly.
いよいよ今日です！
あと1時間ほどで、データ伝送路を新しい中継システムに切り替える準備を進めています
This is today!
Preparing to cut over the firehose to a new relay in the next hour or so.
「bsky.network」で提供されている人気のファイアホースサービスが、いよいよ今週火曜日にアップグレードされます。
PDSオペレーター、ファイアホース利用者、Jetstreamユーザーへの影響は最小限に抑えられる見込みですが、詳細については全文をご確認ください。
The popular firehose service at 'bsky.network' is finally going to be upgraded this coming Tuesday.
The disruption to PDS operators, firehose consumers, and jetstream users should be minimal, but read the full post for all the details.
We're having an AT Proto gathering at FOSDEM, on the Friday right before, at 17h00. Come! It'll be nice and fun.

We just released Tap, a tool designed to handle the hard parts of repo synchronization, so you can focus on building your application.
It's now easier than ever to stay up to date with Atmosphere records for dev, data analysis, or any other task at hand!

if you are new to the IETF, the link below is a good overview of the overall process, including getting set up on the mailing list.
AT (atproto) is still in the process of forming a working group, and coming to consensus on what the charter should look like.
interested in standardization of AT at the IETF?
there are ongoing discussions happening on the mailing list, and there will be a video call this Wednesday to discuss the scope of work, especially around DIDs and identity.
more details in this email thread: mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/atp...
We're presenting this scheme so that software engineers can comment on potential concerns or weaknesses. If you'd like to share feedback, please use this github discussion: github.com/bluesky-soci...
"Find friends by phone" is a common tool in social networks. We're proposing a secure scheme and requesting comments from the dev community.
Goals:
・Double opt-in: you're not findable by your phone unless YOU use the tool
・Secure to enumeration attacks
・Resistant to decryption if compromised
Recently we hired @jimray.bsky.team as a new devrel at Bluesky, and I wanted to give him an overview of the Atmosphere. We recorded the session!
I give you: Squeeky Board with Paul and Jim, a detailed overview of AT://
the operations to be removed have been publicly archived, and the changes can be independently verified.
we plan to execute this change in roughly a week (no sooner than 2025-11-06).
you can read more in this github announcement.
for folks working with the PLC identity system:
we are planning to remove a set of non-compliant operations from the directory, which should make it easier to implement replicas and audits. these are predominantly test operations created by security researchers.
