Guardians Sponsorship Program
Today, we take an important step in the history of GuardianDB with the official launch of the Guardians Sponsorship Program. GuardianDB has always been designed as a resilient, local-first system, built with strong technical care. Until now, all of this work has been sustained independently. With the start of the sponsorship program, we open a…

Absolute refactoring: the largest update so far
Today on the GuardianDB blog we talk about one of the deepest transformations in the entire history of the project: the absolute refactoring behind GuardianDB 0.14.0 “Ironclad”. This is not just about adding features or fixing bugs. We changed paradigms. We rewrote our foundations. We aligned the architecture with a vision of networking that actually…

It is a deliberate reconstruction of the foundations, designed to reduce complexity, eliminate inherited layers, and align GuardianDB with a truly local-first, deterministic, and native P2P architecture. Ironclad does…

The Next Evolution of GuardianDB: Why We Are Replacing IPFS with Iroh
When we started developing GuardianDB, the logical choice for the networking layer seemed obvious: IPFS. It’s the industry standard for decentralization, has a huge ecosystem, and solves the problem of content addressing. However, as we dove deeper into engineering a high-performance peer-to-peer database in Rust, we realized that trying to fit a dynamic database into…

Migration from libp2p to the Iroh API in the Guardian Ecosystem

In GuardianDB, we made the choice to completely remove libp2p’s legacy modules and adopt the Iroh API exclusively from this point forward. libp2p comes at a high cost: large binaries, excessive battery consumption,…
