This guide will give you a brief introduction to the basic concepts and components of Debook.
## What is Debook?
Debook is a decentralized social network platform with a wide variety of use cases as social intranet, community or DAO collaboration platform.
## Basic Concepts[](https://docs.humhub.org/docs/about/humhub/#basic-concepts "Direct link to heading")
The following section provides a short overview of the basic concepts supported by Debook.
### Dashboard
The dashboard provides a quick overview of all recent contents and activities of all spaces and profiles a user is following and may contains additional sidebar elements as for example a task or calendar overview snippet.
### **Spaces**
Debook networks are usually separated into multiple spaces. A space serves as an independent area within your network with an own set of members, permissions, settings and modules. Most content created within a network as posts, events or wiki pages are linked to a specific space. Depending on the use case of your network, a space could be created for each project or any kind of DAO community. That said, spaces are a fundamental part of most Debook networks.
**Also you can set the space as a paid space according to your needs.**
**User can pay to join your space on the price page.**
### Assets
On the assets page, you can view your airdrop credits, current income and withdrawals, obtain invitation links, buy user levels(NFT).
### **Posts**
In Debook, posts are the simplest form of content and are included in the core platform. Users can create posts directly within the start page of a space or on their user profile wall. Debook provides a WYSIWYG editor for most text based contents in order to add simple formatting as headlines or bold text as well as oEmbed or file uploads. As in most social network platforms, posts can be commented and liked or archived. While posts are the only content type included in the core software, there are many modules available supporting further kinds of content as Q&A, poll or wiki pages.
