ActivityPods 3.0
Encrypted Solid-compatible Pods
ActivityPods brings together two game-changing protocols, ActivityPub and Solid Pods, and empowers developers to create fully-decentralized social apps thanks to an easy-to-use framework. In the planned version 3.0, Solid clients will be able to connect to ActivityPods just like any other Solid Pod provider. Furthermore, ActivityPods 3.0 will build a bridge with the world of P2P protocols, since it will be using NextGraph (a local-first P2P solution based on CRDT) as a triple store. The result is that all Pod data will be encrypted. In addition, users will be able to create a NextGraph wallet and use it to give NextGraph apps access to their Pod data. This will allow ActivityPods to provide the first "social Pods" with built-in Fediverse communication and improved data security, potentially attracting more developers and users to the Solid and ActivityPub ecosystems.
