Just read this Web3DB paper by Shankha Shubhra Mukherjee, Wenyi Tang, Gustavo Prado Fenzi Aniceto, Jake Chandler, WenZhan Song, and Taeho Jung.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/390468927_Web3DB_Web_30_RDBMS_for_Individual_Data_Ownership
A decentralized relational database that supports SQL, enforces fine-grained access control with blockchain, and leverages IPFS for decentralized storage. It’s a real attempt to preserve the usability of traditional DBMS in a trust-minimized, user-owned environment.
The architecture is modular and uses cryptographic sortition to elect a temporary master node per query — avoiding centralization even in execution coordination.
What stands out most is its commitment to individual data sovereignty: users hold their own keys, access is granted via smart contract-managed ACLs, and no node can access more than it’s allowed to. This directly aligns with the Sovereignty, Transparency, and Knowledge Management values we’ve been advocating for in Nearchos. 1 reply
