To stave off some confusion, Bao was originally two things: 1) a custom tree hashing mode based on BLAKE2, and 2) an encoding format and verified streaming implementation for that tree hash. The first half grew into BLAKE3, which we announced on January 9. The Bao project itself is now focused on the second half, with the internal tree hash defined to be BLAKE3.
