Data Registry

Concept

The Data Registry is a curated data reference storage under governance. Its primary role is to sidestep the constraints of on-chain storage by providing references to external data resources, like those found on IPFS or GitHub. By doing so, the Data Registry ensures that large files or extended data sequences aren't directly stored on-chain. Instead, it archives external URLs, metalinks, and various distributed references. A pivotal aspect of the Data Registry is its ability to vouch for the authenticity and integrity of the external data. This is achieved via on-chain checksums, bolstering trustworthiness by verifying the consistency of hosted data. Furthermore, the Data Registry enriches the stored references by supplying supplementary information, including file size and encoding. Akin to how the Identity Registrar assures the legitimacy and uniqueness of user identities, the Data Registry offers a secure, reliable bridge between the on-chain network and the vast external data world.

Code of Conduct

An integral property of the Data Registry is the code_of_conduct. This can be perceived as the Service-layer Agreement bridging network governance and its users. This off-chain text serves as a guiding beacon, delineating the expected conduct of network participants. In essence, it acts as the network's constitution, providing insights and guidelines to users and incoming governance members alike.
