Monarch X App — Standalone Manual
Version: Full Suite — Enterprise Build
Introduction
The Monarch X App is a sovereign, decentralized ecosystem for communication, culture, commerce, and governance. It unifies:
- Encrypted social media & messaging
- Multimedia streaming & media store (music, podcasts, video, blog/PDF)
- Integrated dating app with long-term machine learning strategies
- Public Square — community forums and a location-based bulletin board
- Crypto wallet & exchange with fiat on/off ramps
- Monarch X Ledger — append-only blockchain record of history and governance actions
- DAO LLC governance — token-based voting combined with executive leadership, aligned with U.S. constitutional principles
The system balances decentralized participation with executive discretion by the Director of Monarch Literary, acting as President of the DAO LLC, under a governance model rooted in the Bill of Rights.
Core Features
1. Social Media Platform
- Encrypted posts and messaging for free association and expression.

- Moderation requires notice, explanation, and appeal. No suppression based solely on viewpoint.
Governance:
- Anchoring is controlled by relayers authorized through DAO proposals or Director discretion.

2. Multimedia Dashboard
Accessible from the iOS dashboard and web admin:
- Music streaming — searchable database, playlists, favorites.
- Podcasts & RSS feeds — live playback.
- Video player — HLS streaming with signed CDN URLs.

Governance:
- Purchases are credited to escrow.

3. Dating App
- Profiles with bio, photos, interests, and intentions.
