We're quite excited by the new wave of community-developed peer-to-peer
|
||||
technology. [Scuttlebutt], [Cabal], [Mapeo] and [Beaker browser] are inspiring
|
||||
examples of software which show that technology can be built to operate without
|
||||
running on centralised commercially-owned infrastructure (e.g. WhatsApp).
|

|

One of the underlying innovations for technologies such as [Cabal] is the [Dat

||||
One of the underlying innovations for these technologies is the [Hypercore
|

protocol], which is a way of describing how two computers can send information
|
||||
to each other directly. The protocol is supported by the [Dat Foundation] and
|
||||
developed as a community-based standard.

|

from the tools and concepts that are being developed based on the reference

their preferred language of choice. In response to this, we are seeing projects

like [Dat Rust] and [C++ Dat] emerge.

called the Dat protocol, see [this blog post] for more information).

Alongside these efforts, a member of Autonomic has begun to work on [Datpy], a

Python-based implementation of the Dat protocol. The project proposes a roadmap

but offers no deadlines and receives no funding at current status. However

slowly, things are moving along. Further progress updates will be posted on

this blog as they come in.
