Giving the individual control of their data: Open Source Decentralized Web Nodes

Today, apps are responsible for storing user data. This is both a cost and compliance burden for the developer, and a privacy risk for the individual.

But what if we turned this model on its head and eliminated the need for individuals to trust apps with their data? What if we had decentralized data storage mechanisms that enabled developers to create apps that store data with the individual?

Enter DWeb Nodes, a specification created by DIF, and first implemented by TBD, part of Block. DWeb nodes are personal data stores that enable developers to create a new class of serverless decentralized apps.

This open source technology is available for anyone to build on and be at the forefront of how we establish trust and take back control of our online identities.
