The cool thing I really like about Vanadium is a unified worldview it provides with the ability to access every object in the Vanadium ecosystem through its powerful naming/mounting mechanism. In Vanadium, you can "mount" things on your namespace (think Unix VFS) on a hierarchical namespace and invoke RPC methods on the objects. The method invocation is mutually authenticated with ed25519 keys and end-to-end encrypted on the wire. I sometimes jokingly called it "Plan 10". It is certainly not just another "synchronizing database" though that is a subset of it.
Disclosure: I very briefly worked on it at Google and I can attest the team behind it is brilliant beyond imagination.
