Jolt
A peer-to-peer content syndication network where identity, content, and audience belong to the publisher, not a platform.
Jolt is an experiment in platformless publishing. A .jolt identity is a signing key you own. Content is addressed by hash, mutable state is a signed update log, and private objects are encrypted envelopes. Peers discover each other, cache for each other, and relay through a built-in bootstrap.
The part that makes it usable is the local daemon. Applications never hold your keys. They ask for a capability-scoped session, you approve or revoke it in Jolt Console, and from then on they read and write only the paths they were granted. Recipient-controlled ingress gives apps a way to talk back without opening you up to spam.
There is no ledger, no token, no consensus, and no hosted service. The v0 line proves the protocol and the runtime boundary, and recent work added a typed data layer with revision-aware updates, tombstones, and restore. It remains developer-oriented and is not yet ready for everyday users. Jolt is written in Rust with a TypeScript SDK.
