Already using cryptographic keys? Chances are ~100% you can reuse them as DIDs and hook your roots of trust straight into DefraDB.

Data trapped in one vendor's shape isn't yours. DefraDB is open by default — schema, data, and access rules travel with you, syncing P2P instead of into a walled garden. No metadata hostage. Own the data path. docs.source.network
ALT Robot freely carrying data across open peer nodes, no gatekeeper.
"Keep data in open formats, query where it lives" — right instinct, usually bolted onto a proprietary store as a veneer. Portability isn't added later; it's how data was stored on day one. Is your data portable, or just exportable if you rebuild everything?

Lock-in isn't just your cloud now — it's the data path. Hotel California with an egress fee: check out any time, but you can't take the relationships. They'll export the rows as a 2GB CSV with the foreign keys stripped. What's welded to the floor?
ALT Robot lifts data rows while metadata is chained to a vendor tower.
P2P mesh, centralized, or federated — DefraDB handles any network topology. And the messy federated middle is exactly where it shines.

Most AI projects stall before the model: data scattered across a dozen systems, each with its own schema and half-working export. The work isn't modeling — it's months of plumbing to move data. How much of your last AI project was just moving data?
ALT Robot facing a row of separate locked data silos.
Rarely offline? Cloud sync is fine. Devices dropping in and out? DefraDB's P2P is a huge UX boost. When to choose which.

The honeypot exists because the data is centralized. Remove the center, remove the prize. DefraDB is P2P: data distributed across nodes, encrypted, access per-record. No single endpoint to drain. Compromise one node, not the network. docs.source.network
ALT Data spread across many small locked peer nodes; attacks find no center.
