This paper describes Polybase, a horizontally scalable decentralised query, index and storage protocol for structured data.
P2P
All network participants communicate over a P2P system (built on the modular p2plib library).
In the IPFS P2P protocol [Ben14], each request for content results in a walk of the DHT and a new connection before any transfer can begin (as each piece of content is equally likely to be on any given node in the network). This results in high latency when fetching content, which would be unacceptable within the requirements of the Polybase protocol.
Instead Polybase’s P2P protocol optimises for stable connections to nodes who are interested in similar content, creating a sub-network of indexers and clients for each sub-section of data. Each node can be part of one or more of these sub-networks.
All P2P connections are run using Multiplex, allowing different Polybase sub-protocols (blockchain, indexers, DHT) to reuse the existing connections between nodes.
yepp, IPFS is slow. so basically, this is a "faster IPFS"?

currently 12 github stars for https://github.com/polybase/polylang how is this better than more popular tools?
- https://github.com/amark/gun - GUN is an ecosystem of tools that let you build community run and encrypted applications - like an Open Source Firebase or a Decentralized Dropbox.
- https://www.gnunet.org/en/ - framework of distributed protocols
- https://github.com/berty/berty - Berty is a secure peer-to-peer messaging app that works with or without internet access, cellular data or trust in the network
Polybase is a web3 native database that understands tokens, wallets, and ZK. We are a drop-in replacement for Firebase, Supabase, etc with added features like public verifiability, end-end encryption, self-sovereign data & censorship resistance.
Our mission is to restore humanity's control of its information. I would love to have Polybase as a part of your awesome list.
