Upcoming Events
Fission Tech Talks: Fireproof Overview
We are delighted to welcome special guest J Chris Anderson, who will give us an overview of Fireproof.
Fireproof uses immutable data and distributed protocols to offer a new kind of database that:
- can be embedded in any page or app with a flexible data ownership model
- can be hosted on any cloud
- uses cryptographically verifiable protocols
J Chris Anderson will share how CIDs let Fireproof run anywhere and how UCAN makes data ownership models super flexible.
Tues, December 5th, 9 AM PST / 12 PM EST
IPVM Community Call
IPVM, or the InterPlanetary Virtual Machine, aims to be the easiest, fastest, most secure, and open way to run WebAssembly functions anywhere.
Using content-addressed data, public key infrastructure (PKI), and capabilities, IPVM liberates computation from its dependence on pre-negotiated services and paves the way for interoperability.
Learn more about our progress building Homestar, the first implementation of IPVM.

UCAN Community Call
User-Controlled Authorization Networks (UCANs) are an extension of the popular JSON Web Token format specifically designed to enable ways of authorizing offline-first apps and distributed systems.
At a high level, UCANs are a way of doing authorization (“what you can do”) where users are fully in control. There’s no all-powerful authorization server or server of any kind required. Everything a user can do is captured directly in a key or token and can be sent to anyone who knows how to interpret this format.
Join us as we work towards the release of v1.0.
