Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
OpenXiv is a preprint server that lives in your social feed. Built on the AT Protocol. Preprints federate to Bluesky. Endorsements are typed verbs (verified derivation, reproduced result, checked references) rather than generic likes. Every paper carries a Trust Passport with four lanes: transparency, identity, integrity, social review. Open to independent researchers without institutional backing. Sign in with ORCID or did:plc, with no endorsement gating and no affiliation filter. You don't have to be in the field to read papers in the field. Each preprint comes with three explainer tiers (school, undergrad, expert) next to the original. Human-written or AI generated and labelled as such. Read whichever fits, then drop into the original when you're ready.
