IPVM: Seamless Services for an Open World
summary
Claims a concrete stack: UCAN Invocation for capability-based auth, a hash‑linked task format and Interplanetary VM (IPVM) scheduler that runs WebAssembly anywhere, plus Webnative FS for encrypted replicated data. It returns cryptographic WebAssembly receipts so work is verifiable, memoized, and reusable (run‑once caching), supports offline delegation, and trades spot‑checking or zk proofs for trust. Promised benefits: lower coordination cost, data‑gravity aware placement, and better‑than‑linear speedup as more nodes run common tasks.
