Decentralized persistence from blockchain and ipfs to DWNs

Internet was born stateless, and expect that servers will take care about persistence Let's go from #blockchain and #IPFS to #DWNs and see how #persistence evolves for decentralized apps. - bitcoin brings a decentralized persistence for transactional data - smart contracts make it more general and domain-focused IPFS solve the challenge with storing big amounts of data but struggle with privacy and incentives FileCoin make thing better with incentives but force user to pay for data Ceramic networks add a permission layer, but still trust relay on the network provider Definity moves the cost of storage from the user to apps and allows to do full encryption inside a network DWN tackles the problem from a different angle and offer relay-based topology with permission, encryption, and sync Persistence is critical not only for Dapps but for AI agents that could require massive storage for data #architecture #sovereigndata #web5 #ssi #architecture
