GitHub - FrigadeHQ/remote-storage: remoteStorage is a simple library that combines the localStorage API with a remote server to persist data across browsers and devices.

Projects like Ceramic allow users to take their data with them across the internet. Two contributors highlighted this open-source protocol, describing how it could change how we build and interact with on-chain applications.

A sovereign datastoreWith DID Datastore on top of Ceramic, you can create a datastore for each of your users’ blockchain accounts. Or even let them link multiple accounts (like various wallets from different blockchains) to the same datastore. And with that datastore, you can structure, store, and update any kind of information required in your app... See more

Separating "login" from "data" is powerful and attractive. Currently, we need to create an account with every app and website we use. And we need to let these apps store our data on their own servers. On the blockchain-powered web, people use a single private key (and wallet) to log in to many different apps, and their data and history belong to th... See more

These high on-chain storage costs prevent the vast majority of web 2.0 applications from being implementable on today’s general-purpose blockchains, even if using bridges to storage-focused blockchains such as Arweave or Filecoin. At current prices, even storing a single link to Arweave or Filecoin on a general-purpose chain would cost between $0.1... See more

Keyv is a simple key-value storage system that supports multiple backends. It's designed to be a simple and consistent way to work with key-value stores.

To learn how to use Keyv, check out the keyv README. To learn how to use a specific storage adapter, check out the README for that adapter under Storage Adapters.

While today's general-purpose blockchains have worked well for storage-light applications like DeFi, they cannot scale to handle storage-heavy applications like social apps and marketplaces. Imagine a world in which every ‘like’ or follow on a decentralized app cost $1.00+ in storage fees. Unfortunately, that is the reality now because of the stora... See more
