Peer to Peer Databases
Peer to peer and decentralized applications have been popular lately, but almost all of them rely on synchronizing append only logs of operations (or an equivalent). This leads to performance degredation over time as data accumulates and needs to be processed on new peers before they can start querying and updating data within an existing swarm. This post will talk about how pre-indexed peer to peer databases can be built and how they can sidestep the need to process operation logs and query data more efficiently. The short of it is that with this new data structure, the network becomes your database instead of needing to build a database after loading everything from the network.
FEP-1042: Peer to Peer Fediverse Identities
Hey folks, we at [Distributed Press](https://distributed.press) have been working on making a bridge between peer to peer or "dweb" protocols and ActivityPub implementations over the past year and wanted to solidify our approach so that others can interoperate. Here's is an initial draft expla...
ATOM: AT Protocol Over MoQ Transport
This document specifies how the Authenticated Transfer (AT) Protocol can leverage Media over QUIC Transport (MOQT) for efficient data synchronization across decentralized social networks. The AT Protocol's firehose event stream and repository synchronization mechanisms map naturally to MOQT's publish/subscribe model, enabling scalable relay infrastructure, priority-based delivery, and improved resilience for large-scale social data distribution. This specification addresses the challenges of the current WebSocket- based transport and demonstrates how MOQT's relay architecture, group-based caching, and multiplexed streams provide significant benefits for AT Protocol deployments at scale.
