🚀 What is STF?

STF is a community-powered alternative to today’s broken internet model. It enables:

• Spoof-proof browsing using .ava domains verified via cryptographic hashes
• Local AI moderation that ensures all public content is legal, protected, and non-predatory
• Parent-linked child accounts with verifiable age-based access
• Instant, irreversible, biometric-verified payments (no chargebacks, no data breaches)
• Decentralized social media with real creator monetization, zero censorship, and real-time rewards
• AI-enhanced content distribution with user-controlled preferences and emotion/topic tagging
• Open hosting, load balancing, and GitHub-style site deployment — all sovereign and user-owned
