Yea I took a look at the source code as well and I can’t find anything crypto related. It seems to be more so in the realm of matrix, dat, mastodon etc. I think where a lot of the newer attempts at distributed web went wrong was attaching themselves closely to crypto. I’d like to dig in more this weekend, it does seem like a pretty nice synthesis of other ideas and if it has major backing + not being attached to crypto I think it could have more longevity and adoption than other distributed web attempts.

We have gotten to the ugliest place in tech marketing where even things that have nothing to do with blockchain feel the urge to market themselves that way, or at least for the press to report on them as if they do...

  In our defense, we didn't write this article, have clearly said we're not a blockchain, and can't seem to get people NOT to describe us as a blockchain (https://twitter.com/arcalinea/status/1583229012725633024 https://twitter.com/arcalinea/status/1583229012725633024)

Well they’ve already hit the “blockchain isn’t fit for service issue” so left it out: https://atproto.com/guides/identity#did-methods https://atproto.com/guides/identity#did-methods That said, and while I have serious doubts about it, they are seemingly approaching with an open mind. Unlike others they aren’t just shoving“blockchain” into every part of it so they can grab VC money and run.
