Data

The Wired’s data layer is centered around a personal data store called the WDS (Wired Data Store).

WDS

This is your personal storage—the place where your spaces, objects, and files live. Rather than being a single location, it is actually a mesh network of data stores. You can run one on your own machine, on a server you control, or let someone else host it for you.

By default a local WDS is run alongside the UNAVI client, with additional syncing to a remote-hosted WDS for data availability.

Local First

Edits can be made offline to your local store, which will then be synced with other instances whenever you reconnect to the wider Internet. The local instance also acts as a cache for any external data you fetch, keeping a copy on disk for some time.

Authentication

Stores use DIDs to handle authentication and data verification.
