Package feeds defines Swarm Feeds.
|
|
|
|
Swarm Feeds allows a user to build an update feed about a particular topic
|
|
without resorting to ENS on each update.
|
|
The update scheme is built on swarm chunks with chunk keys following
|
|
a predictable, versionable pattern.
|
|
|
|
A Feed is tied to a unique identifier that is deterministically generated out of
|
|
the chosen topic.
|
|
|
|
A Feed is defined as the series of updates of a specific user about a particular topic
|
|
|
|
Actual data updates are also made in the form of swarm chunks. The keys
|
|
of the updates are the hash of a concatenation of properties as follows:
|
|
|
|
updateAddr = H(Feed, Epoch ID)
|
|
where H is the SHA3 hash function
|
|
Feed is the combination of Topic and the user address
|
|
Epoch ID is a time slot. See the lookup package for more information.
|
|
|
|
A user looking up a the latest update in a Feed only needs to know the Topic
|
|
and the other user's address.
|
|
|
|
The Feed Update data is:
|
|
updatedata = Feed|Epoch|data
|
|
|
|
The full update data that goes in the chunk payload is:
|
|
updatedata|sign(updatedata)
|
|
|
|

|
