OpenVaultDBPrototype

A user-owned database server with pluggable storage engines — your data, your vault, any app.

Why

Users should not lose control of their data just because they use modern apps. If the shared graph is the moat, the user must hold the keys.

Connects to

Speaks a uniform JSON HTTP API over pluggable engines (SQLite, inGitDB), with a DALgo driver so ecosystem apps can target it like any other database. The storage direction for Formius profiles and, eventually, the whole personal graph.

What it makes possible

“User-owned data” stops being a slogan and becomes an endpoint: a vault the user runs or rents, that any consenting app can read and write.

In the graph

  • OpenVaultDB needs inGitDB — storage engine
  • User-Owned Data inspired OpenVaultDB — ownership needs a vault
  • DALgo powers OpenVaultDB — DALgo driver
  • Sneat.work connects OpenVaultDB — /vault

Notes

  • — OpenVaultDB prototype runs Sneat end-to-end
