CRDTs & Sync Engines
Conflict-free data types that make real-time collaboration and offline-first possible
A JSON-like CRDT that allows concurrent changes without coordination. The gold standard for local-first data.
High-performance CRDT framework optimized for real-time text editing. Powers many collaborative editors.
Postgres-compatible sync engine. Write to local SQLite, sync to Postgres automatically.
Sync framework for building fast, collaborative web apps with offline support.
Encrypted, replicated object database with CRDT semantics and peer-to-peer sync.
Full-stack database with built-in sync. Write to a local cache, changes sync automatically.
Sync engine for mobile and web apps with Postgres. Works with SQLite locally.
Local Databases
Client-side databases for storing data on device
A minimalistic IndexedDB wrapper. Makes client-side storage simple and reactive.
SQLite compiled to WebAssembly. Full SQL power in the browser.
Postgres in the browser and Node.js via WASM. Full Postgres compatibility locally.
Reactive database for JavaScript with offline-first sync capabilities.
High-performance reactive database for React and React Native apps.
P2P & Networking
Peer-to-peer communication and data transfer without central servers
Modular peer-to-peer networking stack. The foundation for IPFS and many P2P apps.
Content-addressed, peer-to-peer file system. Data lives everywhere.
Secure, distributed append-only log. Foundation for Hyperswarm and Hyperdrive.
Browser API for real-time peer-to-peer communication. Audio, video, and data.
Fast, efficient sync protocol built on IPFS concepts. From the creators of IPFS.
DIDs & Identity
Decentralized identifiers and identity management
Simple DID method using web domains. Easy to implement, widely supported.
Self-certifying DIDs from public keys. No blockchain needed.
Microsoft's DID method using Bitcoin's blockchain for anchoring.
Cross-platform DID and Verifiable Credential toolkit in Rust/WASM.
Decentralized data network for composable web3 applications with DIDs.
Verifiable Credentials
Digital credentials that are tamper-proof and privacy-preserving
The standard for expressing credentials on the web in a verifiable way.
Privacy-preserving credentials with zero-knowledge proofs. From Hyperledger.
Cryptographic signatures enabling selective disclosure in credentials.
Platform for building and issuing verifiable credentials at scale.
JavaScript framework for Verifiable Data with DID and VC support.
Wallets & Agents
Tools for users to manage their identity and credentials
