We archive repos for one or more of the following reasons:

• Code or content is unmaintained, and therefore might be broken
• Content is outdated, and therefore may mislead readers
• Code or content evolved into something else and/or has lived on in a different place
• The repository or project is not active in general

Please note that in order to keep the primary IPFS GitHub org tidy, most archived repos are moved into the ipfs-inactive org.

Dynamic Data and Capabilities in IPFS Special Interest Group

Research and development of building blocks that enable collaborative applications, providing solutions for security, identity, access control, concurrency, synchronization, offline and near-real-time collaboration on top of IPFS.

Responsibilities include

• Research and implement CRDTs on top of IPFS, creating building blocks that can be used by other applications.
• Research Cryptographic ACLs (Capabilities Systems) and create building blocks that implement.
• Apply this research and implementation to products like PeerPad, validating the solutions and defining new problems to be solved.

Weekly Sync

Join us on our calls. For that, check out the global IPFS community calendar. Issue describing next meeting.

Current Status

Accomplishments and current endeavours

• Peer-Base: a library to help create DApps on top of IPFS.
• Peer-Pad: a decentralized editor that allows concurrent writing of text. Besides making live changes to a given document, it allows read-only nodes to follow the changes in real-time. It also allows you to publish a self-contained snapshot of the document to IPFS.
• delta-crdts: delta-state-based CRDTs in JavaScript.
• 2 research RFPs:
  • Optimize storage and convergence time in causal CmRDTs
  • Decentralised Access Control in CRDTs
• Identity RFC: an identity
• Identity Manager: Identity Manager reference implementation
• Discussify: Fully decentralized platform for discussing anything on the web.
