What is ATProtoFans?

ATProtoFans lets you support creators you love and prove it. When you support someone, you get a permanent record that shows you backed them—and creators can see exactly who their supporters are.

How it works:

  1. Find a creator you want to support
  2. Make a one-time payment (starting at $3)
  3. Get a supporter record stored in your account
  4. The creator gets proof you supported them

That's it. No subscriptions, no recurring charges, no complicated tiers. Just simple, verifiable support.

What makes it different:

Your supporter record belongs to you, not us. It's stored in your ATProtocol account (the same system Bluesky uses), so it stays with you even if ATProtoFans goes away. Creators keep their supporter list the same way—it's theirs, not ours.

For Supporters

Your support, your proof, your data

It means something

Your support isn't just a number in someone's analytics. Creators see exactly who's backing them, and you get permanent proof that lives with your identity—not locked in someone else's database.

It travels with you

Switch apps, change platforms, leave ATProtoFans entirely—your supporter relationships stay yours. No more losing your history when a service shuts down or changes its terms.

It's yours

Because your data lives in your ATProtocol account, not ours, we couldn't hold it hostage even if we wanted to.

For Creators

Real relationships with the people who back you

Know who's got your back

See your supporters by name, not as anonymous transactions. Build genuine connections with the people who believe in your work.

Give them something real

Supporters receive verifiable proof they can show off on their profile. It's a badge of authentic fandom—not just a receipt.

Your audience belongs to you

Your supporter list lives in your account. Export it, use it anywhere, take it to another service. We're not the gatekeeper—you are.

Built on ATProtocol

ATProtoFans uses ATProtocol, the same open network that powers Bluesky. Your supporter records are stored in your own account, not on our servers.

This means your data is portable. If you switch apps or ATProtoFans shuts down, your supporter relationships go with you. Any app that supports ATProtocol can read them.

Supporter records are public. Anyone can see who supports whom, and anyone can verify the proofs are real. This transparency is what makes the system trustworthy—support can't be faked.
