A Distributed Updatable World VM using WASM
summary
Bacalhau builds a global, updatable execution substrate that runs WASM anywhere using content-addressed CIDs embedded in WASM so modules resolve dependencies by hash rather than a central registry. Modules move over IPFS-backed peer-to-peer distribution so nodes share caches and avoid re-downloading huge blobs. The system schedules jobs to nodes that already hold dependencies, supports tiny devices up to GPUs and even satellites, and lets proprietary modules self-select and price access.
