dat

"Dat is the package manager for datasets. Share files with version control, back up data to servers, browse remote files on demand, and automate long-term data preservation. Secure, distributed, fast.

The Dat Project is the home to open source data sharing applications led by Code for Science & Society, a grant-funded non profit. The Dat Project developed the Decentralized Archive Transport (Dat) protocol, which transfers files in a secure, distributed, and fast network allowing you to focus on the fun work without worrying about moving files around.

Key features

• Secure - Data is encrypted upon transfer and the content is verified on arrival. Prevents third-party access to metadata and content. Learn more.
• Transparent - Changes to data are written in an append-only log, creating a version history that improves transparency and auditability.
• Distributed - With the Dat protocol you'll connect directly to other users or servers sharing or downloading common datasets. Any device can host files to share without the need for centralized servers. Read more.
• Future-proof - Unique links are generated using a public key and thus can be used instantly and forever to verify the dataset from anywhere. You don't need to wait for the entire archive to be hashed before you can begin uploading to peers.
• Fast - Files download from multiple sources. Quickly sync updates by only downloading the new bytes, saving time and bandwidth.
