Foundations for Decentralization - Data with IPLD

Explore the foundations of decentralization through IPLD (InterPlanetary Linked Data) in this 56-minute conference talk. Dive into the world of canonical hashing and immutable linking, learning how these concepts can be used to build libraries and tools for decentralizing various systems. Discover how IPLD aims to simplify the creation of content-addressable storage, develop format-agnostic APIs, and enable easy addressing of structured data with immutable hashes. Gain insights into the IPLD Format layer, Data Model, and Schema System, and understand how they contribute to making decentralized system development more accessible. Learn about IPLD's compatibility with JSON, CBOR, and other formats, as well as its approach to canonical hashing and data validation. Compare IPLD to existing systems like Protobuf and GraphQL, and explore its potential applications in creating decentralized ecosystems resistant to censorship.
