You’d have to store the actual content. The network would just store the hash.
It’s just a Merkle DAG. The innovation is all about forcing nodes to timestamp everything if they timestamp anything.
Blockchains are overkill for this. Blockchains are for when content that was timestamped changes. Not when it just accumulates.
Also, I wrote this back in 2017 as an aspirational roadmap: https://github.com/Qbix/architecture/wiki/Internet-2.0 https://github.com/Qbix/architecture/wiki/Internet-2.0
