Announcement: AltStore becomes a financial contributor to Fedify

We're thrilled to announce that AltStore has become a financial contributor to Fedify! This generous support comes as part of AltStore's broader commitment to strengthening the open social web ecosystem, as they prepare to become the world's first federated app store. Their investment in Fedify and other fediverse projects demonstrates a shared vision for building a more open, interoperable digital future.

AltStore's journey into the fediverse represents a groundbreaking approach to app distribution—connecting their alternative app marketplace with the open social web through ActivityPub. As pioneers who have already pushed Apple to change App Store policies twice in their first year, AltStore understands the transformative power of open protocols and decentralized systems. Their support will help Fedify continue developing robust tools and libraries that make it easier for developers to build federated applications. We're deeply grateful for AltStore's trust in our project and look forward to seeing how their innovative federated app store will reshape mobile app distribution while strengthening the entire fediverse ecosystem.
