Description
The Dat Project, initiated by the Dat Foundation, is a secure, decentralized data sharing protocol that excels in handling large datasets efficiently across distributed networks. As a non-profit venture, it emphasizes data sovereignty and integrity through advanced peer-to-peer technologies, including robust cryptography measures for secure data exchanges. Designed to support large-scale data management, Dat addresses the challenges of data redundancy prevalent in traditional centralized storage systems by facilitating real-time updates and controlled access. Its versatility spans various applications such as scientific research, data journalism, and digital archiving, aiming to enhance the accessibility, persistence, and resilience of information online. Originating in 2013, Dat was primarily focused on civic data and research sharing, gradually expanding to cater to broader decentralized applications. Its development, largely supported by grants from private foundations, underscores a commitment to improving public data access and fostering innovation in peer-to-peer application development. The Dat Protocol advocates for a web governed by open and secure protocols, where glo...
