Bluesky Secures Trademark for AT Protocol
Bluesky has officially trademarked the AT Protocol, the decentralized social networking framework powering its platform. The move aims to protect the protocol's brand as Bluesky expands its ecosystem. This legal step could influence how other developers and platforms adopt or reference the technology.
