## Introduction

Location-based addressing is a centralizing vector on the web.
It lets links rot and drives copies of content into mutual competition.

This document describes a content-based addressing model
which provides permanent links that don't rot and are cryptographically verifiable.
The result is a more cooperative, resilient, and performant web.
