Could Dat be used in cryptocurrencies like how IPFS is used in filecoin? https://filecoin.io/filecoin.pdf has Proof-of-Replication and Proof-of-SpaceTime (PoRep and PoSt) with Provable Data Possession.

Is this similar? https://github.com/emilbayes/hypercore-proof-of-data The description is a bit messy at this point as I was trying to get the idea down why it was fresh in my mind

@emilbayes similar, but not exact. That looks more like Sia/Storj's whitepaper
