Blobs

Blobs are the binary assets of The Wired. Unlike records, blobs are immutable: their ID is the hash of their contents, so they never change.

This has useful properties. The same asset referenced from two different spaces is only stored once. You can verify the integrity of any asset by checking its hash. Anyone with the hash can fetch the asset from any data store that has it.

Blobs are often referenced from records—a space record may point to the blob hashes of its geometry, textures, scripts, and more.
