BREAKING: First Panquake 'Quake' Posted
Viral social media project Panquake has graduated out of Test Net, morphing into Panquake 'Lite': hosting real people, posting real content, engaging in real interactions
Talk Liberation announces the transition of its flagship product Panquake from test data to real data: the user-centric, people-powered social media project isn’t just the little engine that could… it’s now the little engine that did. Today, the social network registered the official @Panquake account on its platform and sent the first ever ‘quake’ message: a touching tribute to a team member who had always believed in Panquake but was taken too soon to share in this moment of seeing it all come to fruition.

It is so rare these days to achieve a genuine triumph of the people but this is precisely what is occurring.
It is an exciting and hugely satisfying moment as well as a poignant one.
It was announced in May of this year, 2025, that people-powered project Panquake was on an Alpha Test Net. This week, it graduated to ‘Panquake Lite’ - onboarding real accounts and real users in a process that will ultimately lead to public release.
The application has been purged of test data and test accounts and the first persistent, real accounts have been created. The users are real people, they are having real interactions and they are posting real content that is being piped into the Panquake blockchain queueing service for publishing upon Beta release.
Who was Eynelys Garcia?
Eynelys (pronounced Annelise) Garcia was Panquake’s Relationship Manager and an integral part of the early Panquake team. An online podcaster, political organiser and dynamite Operations Manager by trade, Eynelys was one of Panquake’s fiercest advocates and most loyal supporters. Tragically, she was killed in October of 2021. Eynelys was supporting and providing for her disabled sister and mother.
On 16 October 2021, Panquake founder Suzie Dawson posted the last voice memo and online chat message she had received from Eynelys, just hours before her passing. It captures her infectious laughter, kind-natured and giving spirit and generosity.
Speaking about Panquake Lite this week, Suzie Dawson said: “I am so proud of our team for having achieved this milestone, and I am so excited for our community. Against all odds and in spite of every trial and tribulation we have faced, we have continually progressed this project in good faith, working tirelessly to deliver on our commitments to all those who believe in and support us. We have never forgotten who we are, why we do what we do, or who was a part of making it happen. The first ‘quake’ message ever to be published on our network being a tribute to Eynelys Garcia brings us full circle. At her memorial service I promised that Panquake would find a way to honor Eynelys in a lasting way. Memorialising Eynelys in the Panquake blockchain is a fulfillment of that promise and I know she would be absolutely thrilled to be remembered this way.”

Walking through the fire
Many of our supporters warned us from the beginning how difficult it would be to pull off a project like Panquake. They knew the full weight of the establishment would be thrown against us and they were absolutely correct.
From our Twitter accounts being eradicated, to our Paypal donations being frozen, to our seed funding being withheld from us by Bad Banki, to 24/7 smear campaigns, persistent cyberattacks on our hosting and infrastructure - you name it, we’ve been through it.
But while they may have slowed us down at times, we never stopped. Our commitment and determination to help to transform the trajectory of social platforms, the online conversational space and more broadly, the internet writ large, has carried us through from milestone to milestone regardless.
Your support has been the foundation upon which we continue to build this transformative platform. We are so grateful to you.
So what’s next?
With the Test Net phase behind us, Panquake is now beginning to undergo the real crash test: facilitating conversations and interactions between real users. We will collect and incorporate their daily feedback and use it to substantively improve the application going forward.
Together we are methodically progressing towards the integration of the blockchain, onboarding our Beta users, and bringing our shared dream to a reality.
We are proud to confirm that we will, as promised, be publishing Panquake’s code open source. This will validate in a transparent way that we have kept every promise we made about how the application would process network data and how it would function.
In an age of seemingly never-ending restrictions on free speech, freedom of political thought, of association, of expression and the automation of privacy violations at a global scale, Panquake is needed more than ever.

Long time coming! Super excited to see all the hard work and faith materialize!
This is awesome! Any timeline on when those of us with Beta Test codes will be able to take it for a trial run? I can't wait to get my hands on it. 😊
