Abstract

DASL (Data-Addressed Structures & Links, https://dasl.ing/) is a suite of small and simple specs that provide a proven, reliable, interoperable toolbox for content-addressing that can be used in other protocols. It has quality implementations in multiple languages, has multiple components used by the AT Protocol, and has some parts also documented in an IETF draft. For the most part, it is a subset of IPFS ruthlessly aimed at interoperability and ease of use. This talk offers a tour and introduction to the core concepts, and provides pointers for reuse in other protocols.
