The HORNETS Relay is now equipped with immudb — a tamper-resistant database supporting:
-key-value store
-JSON document store
-SQLite store

All 3 are tamper-resistant. Shout out to Adam our main backend dev for finding immudb. We’ve spent the last month or so migrating over to it, hence the delay for launching.

Originally we used graviton for our tamper-resistant db, but graviton only supported key-value store. Tamper-resistant dbs are extremely rare.

The beauty of tamper-resistant dbs is it becomes hard for an attacker to secretly delete content from the db of a relay. An attacker would have to delete the relay’s entire db. Relay operators would obviously notice this, creating intense tamper-evident proof.

The document store enables querying. Haven’t used it for plain text querying yet — mainly using for the git notes currently. I was going to make it a surprise, but you asked!
