Welcome to the Frenlyverse
Own your space. Join the movement. Make the internet Frenly again.

fren.ly is a people-powered internet where you own your space as digital real estate instead of renting attention via clicks and views through ads.

Claim your place — permanently — by joining the fren.ly ecosystem and get featured both in the fren.ly/People/Directory and fren.ly/Offering/Directory - where your listing has equity value token-backed on the Ethereum blockhain through a Frenly Panda NFT, your passport to the Frenly World.

That means, you ever decide to leave the platform, you can sell your plot back to the new members joining… at hopefully a higher price than you joined. The Internet was mean to be fren.ly!

Why I Started fren.ly
Meet Raj
Raj Lahoti, creator of DMV.org, helped over 280 million people navigate complex systems and built one of the top 100 most-visited websites in the U.S.
But what started as a mission to make the DMV simple revealed something deeper about how the internet works—and who it truly serves.
The Problem
The deeper DMV.org’s reach grew, the clearer the truth became: ad-based business models distort purpose.
Raj watched how maximizing clicks for revenue often came at the expense of user experience, integrity, and trust. Even the best missions got compromised by the shareholders' demands to “monetize.”
The Vision
With fren.ly, Raj is going beyond fixing one system — he’s building a whole new kind of internet.
One that’s owned by the people.
Fueled by purpose.
Free from manipulation.
No ads.
No surveillance.
No middlemen.
Just people, plots, and Pandas — co-creating a regenerative digital world.
Our Unique Approach to Website Publishing
fren.ly is a regenerative, community-owned platform.
Imagine buying land in a city not made of concrete, but built from truth, creativity, and care — where every resident contributes to the growth of the collective. Instead of a corporate skyscraper looming overhead, there’s a flourishing garden where every plot is owned by the people, not by shareholders.
This is not just another website, search engine, or social network.
This is the next evolution of the internet — powered by Web3, guided by community values, and stewarded by real humans and intelligent AI.
Here, your membership is your equity.
By owning a Frenly Panda, you don’t just get a profile — you claim a permanent space in the Frenlyverse with a host of community features and benefits. Your visibility isn’t controlled by an algorithm. Your voice isn’t drowned out by ads. And your presence matters — permanently.
It’s like becoming a founding resident of a new digital Earth — one that puts people, purpose, and peace first.
