Portable Identity & Account Migration
Synapsis offers true account portability powered by DIDs. You can migrate your entire account — identity, posts, and media — to another Synapsis node.
What Gets Migrated
| Data | Status |
|---|---|
| Your DID & Keys | Your cryptographic identity stays exactly the same |
| Posts & Media | Your entire post history and uploaded media |
| Following List | Who you follow |
| Followers | Automatically migrated — they recognize your DID |
How to Migrate
- Go to Settings → Account Migration
- Click Export Account and enter your password
- Download your export file (keep it safe!)
- On the new node, go to the Login page and click Import Account
- Upload your export file and choose a handle
The Synapsis Advantage
Your followers are automatically migrated because they follow your DID, not just a server-specific account. When you move to a new node, the Swarm propagates your new location and your followers continue to see your posts without any action on their part. This is true account portability.
