Gun
GUN is a decentralized data sync and encryption protocol for building community-run applications.

What is Gun?
GUN is a protocol for syncing data and encrypting it safely. It works well with both SQL and NoSQL-like data, and uses cryptography to secure the data itself, not the servers. It uses the concept of a Public space, User space (where only the owner can write), and a Frozen space (one-time write, everyone can read) to ensure decentralization works at a lower level.
