Dorsey-Backed Revival Brings Vine Back as ‘diVine’ in Limited Beta

The six-second reboot centers on human-verified posts to counter AI fakes.

Overview

  • The project is led by early Twitter alumnus Evan Henshaw-Plath under Jack Dorsey’s nonprofit and Other Stuff, with an emphasis on permissionless protocols.
  • Access is currently limited to a beta tied to the Nostr ecosystem, with a broader rollout still pending.
  • Reports differ on how much of the original archive is live, ranging from about 10,000 to more than 150,000 recovered clips.
  • Former Vine creators can claim their old videos by proving account linkage or request removals from the restored archive.
  • diVine will block AI-generated videos and reportedly uses Guardian Project verification to confirm clips were recorded on real smartphones.
