UNIT DREAM · PRODUCT GUIDE
A glass case of dream cards, the Unit Dream mark beside them

A place for every
someday.

Write down what you want out of your life. The words themselves go onto Unit Network — not a hash of them, not a link to them — where nobody can edit them later and nobody can quietly delete them. Other people find them and say I dream this too.

PermanentNo edit, no delete — not by you, not by us.
Words on-chainThe actual text, stored on Unit Network.
Nothing to payNo fee, no deposit, no token, no escrow.
PublicA dream can be read by anyone you send it to.
Why Unit Dream

Built to be permanent.

Unit Dream is a public archive of aspirations. Someone writes a dream — someday I want to travel around Japan, someday I want to buy my parents a house — and it is recorded on Unit Network. Most apps keep a fingerprint on the chain and the real content in a database they could change or lose; Dreams does the opposite, and puts the title and the text themselves on-chain. That is what makes "permanent" a property of the record rather than a promise about somebody's server. A dream is not a goal yet, and it is not a task. It is a thing you want, given somewhere to exist that will not take it back.

256dreams per identity, for life — slots never free up
Start here

One dream. Four clear moments.

Every dream on Unit Dream follows the same short path. Nothing skips a step, and only the first one is irreversible.

01WriteYou say what you want.
02RecordedThe words go on-chain.
03FoundSomeone else reads it.
04Me tooThey say they want it as well.
The like is the whole social layer. There is no rating, no ranking of people and no score attached to a dreamer. A like says someone else wants this too — it deliberately does not say this person is trustworthy, which is why likes are kept out of the platform's reputation system entirely.
Getting started

Sign in, and you have an identity.

Step 01

Sign in the way you already set up.

Three methods sit behind the tabs on the sign-in card: Credentials (email, password and an 8-digit PIN), Passkey, and Wallet. Credentials is worth understanding before you pick it: Unit does not store your password or your PIN. They are combined at every sign-in to rebuild your keys, which is what the note under the field means. Nobody can reset them for you, because there is nothing on a server to reset.

The sign-in screen with the three method tabs
Write your password and PIN down somewhere safe. Losing either one means losing the account, and with it the ability to post from that identity. The dreams themselves stay on-chain and readable forever — you simply could not add to them.
Step 02

Your identity is created for you.

Posting and liking need an on-chain identity, and the app creates one silently behind the sign-in splash the first time you arrive. You do not fill in a form for it and there is nothing to approve. If the splash holds longer than it should, it is usually the one thing it cannot do for you — the account needs a small balance to pay the network fee for creating the identity.

Step 03

Six destinations, three groups.

The rail on the left is the whole app. Dreams holds Today, Discover and My Dreams — reading, finding and your own record. Community holds Dreamers and Notifications — the people and what they did. Account holds your Profile. That is all of it; there is no settings maze and no second navigation hiding somewhere.

The sidebar — Dreams, Community and Account sections
Today — the feed: newest dreams, a featured one at the top.
Discover — search, interests and categories, and the composer.
My Dreams — everything you have shared, with your counts.
Dreamers — the directory of people, and who follows whom.
Notifications — likes, comments, mentions and new followers.
Profile — how you appear to everyone else.
On a phone the rail becomes a dock. Today, Discover and My Dreams keep a tab each, a compose button sits in the middle, and Dreamers, Notifications and Profile move into More — six tabs across a phone is what made "My Dreams" wrap onto two lines.
Write a dream

From blank page to permanent.

The whole author's journey: open the composer, say the thing, add a picture, file it so people can find it, and sign once — after which it cannot be changed.

01OpenThe composer on Discover
02WriteTitle and dream
03IllustrateAn image, optionally
04FileCategory, tags, place
05SignPermanent from here
06KeepIt appears in My Dreams
Step 01

Open the composer.

Write a dream appears on Today, on Discover and on My Dreams, and every one of them opens the same composer inline on Discover — there is no separate create page to navigate to and lose your place in. The panel opens above the results with the feed still behind it.

The composer on Discover, with the permanence warning
Step 02

Say it plainly.

What do you dream of? is the title, and it is the only required field — up to 128 characters, which is about a sentence. The box beneath it is the dream itself, and the placeholder tells you exactly what happens to it: this text is stored on-chain, forever. The counter caps at 1,000 characters.

Write it in the first person, as a full sentence. "Someday I want to…" is the house style, and it reads better in a feed than a fragment.
The title is what people see everywhere else — in the feed, in search, on your profile. Make it the dream, not a label for it.
An empty title is refused by the chain, not just by the form. A dream with no words is not a record of anything.
The chain accepts more than the form offers. On-chain the title may run to 128 bytes and the description to 2,048, but the composer stops the description at 1,000 characters. If you have written something longer elsewhere, expect to tighten it here rather than being cut off mid-word.
Step 03

Add an image, if it helps.

Optional, and two ways to do it: Upload image puts the file in the product's own storage, and Image link points at a picture that already lives somewhere on the web. Prefer the upload. A linked image is fetched from that other host by every person who views your dream, and it can be swapped or taken down by whoever owns it long after your words have become permanent.

The picture is not as permanent as the words. The text is on-chain; the image is not. Treat the image as illustration and put anything that actually matters into the dream itself, where it cannot be changed.
Step 04

File it so it can be found.

Three optional fields decide whether anyone ever stumbles across this. A Category — Travel, Relationships, Creativity, Personal growth, Community, Learning, Health & Fitness, Lifestyle — puts it in the rails people browse. Up to five hashtags group it with dreams that share a specific thing rather than a broad theme. A Location and country make it findable by place, which is how "a community garden in Kyoto" finds people in Kyoto.

One category, chosen honestly, beats five hashtags chosen hopefully.
Location is a place the dream is about, not where you happen to be sitting.
These are the same fields Discover's filters and search read, so leaving them all blank means only the feed will surface it.
Step 05

Read it once more, then sign.

The footer says Public · On-chain, and Write dream signs the transaction. This is the moment the guide exists to slow you down for. What happens next cannot be undone by you, by Unit, by support, or by governance — there is no edit, no delete, no archive, no hide and no takedown, because the chain code that stores dreams has no such operation in it. It can do exactly three things: create a dream, like one, and un-like one.

You cannot fix a typo in a published dream.
You cannot delete a dream you regret, or make it private.
You cannot free the slot it used — the count only ever goes up.
Nothing here costs money. No fee, no deposit, no escrow and no token — the only cost of posting is the network's own transaction fee, which is charged in the network's fee asset rather than out of your UNITCOIN balance.
Step 06

It lands in My Dreams.

My dreams is your own record — "everything you've dared to put into words" — with a banner that restates the deal and three counts: how many dreams you have, how many hearts they have gathered between them, and how many carry a photo. Each card carries an On-chain badge and the exact minute it was recorded.

My Dreams — everything you have shared, and your counts
You get 256 dreams per identity, for life. It is an anti-spam cap and it exists precisely because dreams are permanent — a deleted dream would otherwise free a slot, and nothing here can be deleted. At 256 the chain refuses the next one with TooManyDreams, and no one can raise it for you. Most people will never come close; it is worth knowing anyway.
Find dreams

Find the ones that move you.

Two surfaces do the finding. Today is the passive one — open it and read what is new. Discover is the active one, for when you are looking for something in particular.

Step 01

Today, for what is new.

The feed leads with a featured dream at full width, then the newest dreams beneath it, newest first. The circles across the top are the categories; the rail on the right keeps your own numbers in view — your dream garden, who has been cheering you on, and the dreamers whose dreams are gathering the most hearts this week.

Today — the newest dreams, newest first
Step 02

Discover, for something specific.

One search box covers dreams, people and places at once. The tabs beneath it are the categories, with For you first; Filters narrows further, and the two small icons switch between a grid and a list. The right rail is the shortcut — trending categories and hashtags with their counts, and a few dreamers worth following.

Discover — search, interests and the category rails
Search reaches the whole archive, not just this week. Which is the honest consequence of a permanent public record: everything ever posted stays findable, including the posts their authors would rather had quietly scrolled away. There is no unpublishing, so write accordingly.
Step 03

Open a dream and see its record.

A dream's own page gives you the image, the full text, the category and hashtags, and the author. The card on the right is the part worth pointing at: On-chain record names the block it was written in, the minute it was recorded, and the content hash — the fingerprint that lets anyone check the words in front of them are the words that were stored.

A dream on its own page — full text, image and likes
Step 04

Say "I dream this too."

The like button is spelled out on purpose — I dream this too — because that is what it means here. It is free and you can use it as often as you like. Press it again to take it back; the count and your own state both follow immediately. You can like your own dream, and the product knows that, which is exactly why a like is not allowed to count as reputation.

One like per person per dream — pressing it twice does not count twice.
Un-liking is a real, recorded action, not a local undo. The chain has an event for it.
Signed out you can read everything and like nothing; the button explains itself rather than bouncing you to a login wall.

Everything you have ever pressed it on collects in one place — your liked dreams — which over time becomes a decent picture of what you actually want, assembled out of other people's words.

Liked — every dream you have said “I dream this too” to
Step 05

Say something back.

Under every dream is a thread. Comments take replies one level deep, collapsed behind View N replies so a long conversation does not bury the dream, and you can @mention another dreamer to pull them in. The menu on your own comments is where deleting lives.

A dream’s comment thread with replies
Comments can be deleted. Dreams cannot. That asymmetry is deliberate rather than an oversight: comments are kept off-chain precisely so they can be removed, which makes the thread the one part of this product where a mistake is fixable. If something needs taking back, it is much better said in a comment than added to a dream.
Community

The people behind the dreams.

Dreams are the point, but people are how you keep finding them. Following someone is how the archive stops being a firehose.

Step 01

Browse the dreamers.

Dreamers is the directory — "find people whose dreams inspire you". Each row carries their interests, the dream they are best known for, how many dreams they have written, and who already follows them. The tabs sort it: Suggested, Trending, New dreamers and Following.

Dreamers — the directory, with follow buttons
"Suggested" is not an algorithm yet. Worth knowing so you do not read meaning into the order: today the suggestion list is a simple rotation rather than a ranking built from what you like. It is a discovery aid, not a judgement about who is worth reading.
Step 02

Read a dreamer's profile.

A profile is public identity and nothing more: a name, a handle, a bio, when they joined, their address, their interests, and their dreams. Three counts — Dreams, Supporters and Following — and two tabs, their own dreams and the ones they have supported. No balance, no activity log, no contact details.

A public dreamer profile — dreams, supporters and Follow
A profile link works for people who have never signed in. Send someone /profile/<address> and it opens — that is the one page in the app deliberately readable without an account, so a dream you are proud of can be shown to someone who is not a user.
Step 03

Follow, and be followed.

Follow is one press and reversible at any time — it is not a request and there is nothing for the other person to accept. Following changes what Dreamers shows you under Following, and it is how you get told when someone you care about writes something new. People who follow you appear as your supporters.

The follow graph belongs to this app, not to the chain. It is stored off-chain, which is what makes un-following instant and complete. The trade-off is that it does not travel with you to other Unit surfaces the way your identity does.
Step 04

Keep up without checking.

Notifications — "see who's cheering on your dreams" — collects four kinds of thing, each with its own tab: Likes, Comments, Mentions and Follows. Unread only narrows it to what you have not seen and Mark all as read clears the lot. The toggles in the right rail switch any of the four off if it becomes noise.

Notifications — likes, comments, follows and mentions
Step 05

Set up how you appear.

Your own Profile is the same page everyone else sees, plus Edit profile. Your name, avatar, cover, bio, location and interests all live here, and unlike a dream, every one of them can be changed as often as you want. The interests you pick are what puts you in front of people browsing those categories in Dreamers.

Your own profile, with the edit control
Your profile is editable. This is not a contradiction. The permanent thing is the dream — the words you chose, at the moment you chose them. Who you are now is allowed to change, and the product is built on that line: anything that must be permanent is on-chain, anything that must be erasable is not, and nothing is in both places.
Permanence

What cannot be undone, and what can.

The most important page in this guide. Almost every question people ask about Dreams is really this question.

On the chain
Forever
The dream's title and text. Who wrote it. Who likes it.
Around it
Erasable
Comments, follows, your profile, images, categories and tags.
One rule sorts everything. Anything that must be permanent goes on-chain; anything that must be erasable stays off it; nothing lives in both places. When you are unsure whether something you are about to write can be taken back, the question to ask is which side of that line it falls on.
Step 01

A dream is permanent, in the strong sense.

Not "hard to delete" and not "deleted on request" — there is no mechanism. The part of Unit Network that stores dreams can create one, like one and un-like one, and that is the complete list. No edit call exists to be called, by you or by anyone with any level of access, which also means no future policy change can quietly introduce one for records already written.

No edit — a published typo is published.
No delete, no archive, no hide, no private mode, no takedown.
No expiry — it does not age out and nobody prunes it.
Step 02

A like is permanent as a record, reversible as a state.

Both the like and the un-like are recorded on-chain, so the history of your having liked something does not vanish. What changes is the current answer to "do you like this dream?" — and you can flip that as often as you want. Practically: un-liking works and works completely. The count drops, the heart empties, and the dream stops appearing in your liked list.

Step 03

Comments are yours to remove.

Comments sit off-chain specifically so they can be deleted, and the menu on your own comment is the whole procedure. This is the only place in the product where you can take words back, and it is worth using deliberately: a correction, an apology or a second thought belongs in the thread, where it is fixable, rather than in a new dream, where it is not.

Step 04

The slot count only goes up.

256 dreams per identity, and a used slot never comes back — because the thing that would free it is a deletion, and there isn't one. The number on My Dreams is therefore a lifetime total rather than a current inventory. There is no way to buy more, no appeal, and no administrator who can extend it.

Step 05

Pictures are the soft part.

An image is not on-chain, so it does not carry the guarantee the words do. A linked image especially: every viewer's browser fetches it from whichever host you pointed at, that host learns something about your readers, and the owner of that address can change or remove the picture whenever they like — long after your dream stopped being changeable. Upload rather than link, and keep the meaning in the text.

Assume a dream is public forever, to everyone. Not just to the people using the app today: to search engines, to anyone who is sent the link, and to whoever is reading in ten years. That is the product working as designed — but it is also the reason to think for a moment before naming someone else in a dream, or writing something you would only want a friend to see.
Reference

Know the words.

The vocabulary this product uses, and what each term actually refers to.

Dream

One thing you want out of your life, written down. A title, optional text, optionally a picture — recorded on-chain and permanent.

Dreamer

A person with an identity on Unit Network who writes or reads dreams. One identity, one profile.

Like · "I dream this too"

Saying you want the same thing. Free, unlimited, reversible, and deliberately excluded from reputation.

Supporter

Someone who follows you. Follows are one-directional and need no approval from either side.

Slot

One of the 256 dreams an identity may ever post. Spent permanently the moment a dream is signed.

Content hash

The fingerprint on a dream's on-chain record. Lets anyone verify the words shown are the words stored.

Category

One broad theme per dream — Travel, Creativity, Community and so on. Drives the rails and the filters.

Hashtag

Up to five narrow labels per dream, for the specific thing it is about rather than its general theme.

Identity

Your on-chain account, created for you at first sign-in. Required to post or like; not required to read.

And the limits, in one place.

Title — up to 128 characters, requiredDream text — up to 1,000 in the composer (2,048 on-chain)Image — one, uploaded or linked, optionalCategory — one, optionalHashtags — up to 5, optionalDreams — 256 per identity, for lifeLikes — unlimited, one per dreamCost — nothing beyond the network fee

Common questions

Can I delete a dream? Can anyone?

No, and no. There is no delete — not for you, not for Unit, not for support, not for governance. The chain code that stores dreams has no deletion operation in it, so there is nothing to request and nobody to appeal to. This is the product's central promise rather than a limitation of the current version.

Can I fix a typo?

No. There is no edit either. The one thing you can do is add a comment under your own dream saying what you meant — comments are erasable and editable in a way the dream is not.

What does it cost?

Nothing. There is no fee, no deposit, no escrow, no subscription and no token anywhere in Dreams. The only cost of posting or liking is the network's own transaction fee, which is charged in the network's fee asset — your UNITCOIN balance is not what pays for it.

Do I need an account to read dreams?

A dreamer's public profile page opens for anyone, with no account. The rest of the app — the feed, Discover, an individual dream's page — currently asks you to sign in first. Posting and liking always need an account, because they need an on-chain identity.

Why can I like my own dream?

Because nothing is riding on it. Likes are free, unlimited and self-applicable by design, which is exactly why they are kept out of the reputation system — a number anyone can inflate cannot be allowed to mean "trustworthy". It means "someone wants this too", including you.

What happens at 256 dreams?

The chain refuses the next one. The cap is per identity and permanent, because slots are only freed by deletion and there is no deletion. Nobody can raise it.

Can I take back a like?

Yes, at any time, and completely — the count drops and the dream leaves your liked list. Both the like and the un-like are recorded on-chain, so the history exists, but the current state is entirely yours to change.

Someone commented something I do not want on my dream. What can I do?

Comments are off-chain and removable, which is more than can be said for the dream itself. Deleting your own comment is in the menu on it; for someone else's, the thread is the moderation surface this product is structurally able to have, and it is the right place to raise it.

Will my image last as long as my words?

No. Images live off-chain. An uploaded one is held by the product; a linked one is held by whoever owns that address and can be changed or removed by them at any point. Put anything that matters into the dream text.

I lost my password or PIN. Can support reset it?

No. Neither is stored by Unit; they are combined at sign-in to rebuild your keys, so there is nothing held anywhere that could be reset. Your existing dreams stay on-chain and readable by everyone forever — you would simply be unable to post new ones from that identity.

Is a dream really stored on-chain, or just a link to it?

Really stored. The title and the text themselves are on Unit Network, not a hash pointing at a database row. That is the difference between "permanent" describing the record and "permanent" describing somebody's intentions about their server.

Can I follow someone without them approving it?

Yes. Follows need no approval and are not requests — one press, reversible whenever you like. People who follow you show up as your supporters.
