This project was created so that we can have a *true* open web in which we can start back from web 1.0 and build what should have been, but never happened. While this idea as a whole takes on many names, we can all agree that it should be about openness and freedom.
|
||||
|

We are doing `progressive decentralization`. This means that at this time, while the tech itself uses P2P technology and is decentralized, the products we create are semi-centralized.

title: What is Lume?

|
||||
`What is Lume?` This is something we have often asked ourselves to explain it 😅.
|
||||
|
||||
Lume can be broken down into a few major focuses:
|
||||
|
||||
- Lume is a **P2P network** that uses public keys instead of torrent hashes to access peers and content.
|
||||
- Like a BitTorrent, but ready for Web3. You can also see it to be a bit like IPFS which uses Libp2p, but more light weight.
|
||||
- The goal here is to create a bridge P2P network `to service all of Web3`.
|
||||
- `It's NOT a blockchain`. You don't need one since anyone can provide services with RPC or their own custom protocol, and anyone can query them.
|
||||
- Lume is a **storage portal** (think `L2` in blockchain terms).
|
||||
- It builds on Sia and stores your private data, and eventually public. In other words think of it like a paid IPFS service, but its not IPFS.
|
||||
- Lume is the **end user gateway**.
|
||||
- It is how you will interface with all content networks, blockchains, or other nets in the future. This could be a browser extension, web browser itself or anything in-between.

title: History

Lume started (before we even decided it was a project or the name) while we were trying to create a web3 cloud drive on Nextcloud based on Skynet. We realized that we were going down the wrong path and needed to solve accessing content before doing anything with the content itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Skynet in the process had a very rough year, as since 2020, Skynet tried to solve distribution with network of Skynet Portals, but experienced number of obstacles from all levels of internet infrastructure (see [Limitations of Web2](/problems/web2-limits.md)) and eventually was shut down.
|
||||
|
||||
Sia in the background was trying to support both innovating and Skynets efforts, and things came to a head with Skynet going bankrupt.
|
||||
|
||||
In that journey, Lume has pivoted at-least 1 time to meet its goals, and has ended up having to build many building blocks out of necessity, and a few that may go unused 🙃.
|
||||
|
||||
Sia has since started rebuilding with new software, and Lume has been building on top.
|
||||
|
||||
Sia is the network of the worlds data, and Handshake replaces ICANN while collaborating with the web3 ecosystem. We have discussed Sia a lot so far, but let it also be known the Handshake tribe has had its own share of drama too, and Lume is actively involved in both.
|
||||
|
||||
So the rabbit hole of Web3 DNS is where we started as the origin of Lume, which means the `world` or `light` in Romanian. It was our intention from the beginning to contribute to the solution of the web's censorship issues and becoming a bridge (or gateway) to the Web3.

Since we defined the limitations of Web2 and building blocks of Web3, let's take a look at what Lume is and where it fits in the grander scale.

### Ok, I get it. Now how it works under the hood?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### It's a bridge, it's a gateway
|
||||
Lume can be seen as a middleware system where you can plug anything in and access it over the relay network. This is done with a help of Hypercore/Dat (see https://docs.holepunch.to which is born from https://dat-ecosystem.org) that allows it to proxy (relay) access to other networks anonymously, and to provide some DNS services. It is also end-to-end encrypted (based on https://noiseprotocol.org).

With blake3 we can also support real time verified streaming, which means files get verified based on their hash as you download so everything is fully trustless. See https://github.com/n0-computer/abao.

||||
|
||||
#### Path forward
|
||||
|
||||
This browser tech can take many forms and Lume will continue evolving to be more advanced over time with its browsing abilities and more importantly, become easy and comfortable to use. That's its biggest problem today and also a reason we already started planning an extension for the most popular browser, Chrome. The end goal is a browser fork, but right now we need to get the foundations right.
