In 2026 an IETF working group was chartered for the repository format, sync, the AT URI and identifier resolution; identity has a neutral steward, founded in 2026, and replicas; sync v1.1 runs on the relays with Tap as reference consumer and pieces to come; Spaces is the open front, with a launch expected this year.

It tells the learner what is settled and what is moving.

In twenty twenty six an IETF working group was chartered for the protocol. Its first scope: the repository format, the sync mechanism, the AT URI, and identifier resolution.

Identity has a neutral steward, the PLC Organization, founded this year, and the directory can be replicated by anyone.

Sync one point one runs on the relays, with Tap as its reference consumer, and a few pieces still to come. Relays are non archival; Hubble keeps the copy.

The open front is non public data: Spaces is in alpha, and a launch is expected this year.

A map with surveyed and unsurveyed parts. Identity, repositories, sync: settled enough to standardize. Private data: still being designed.

Check yourself. Which four things is the IETF group standardizing first?
