Metazip 📦

Dynamic Archives

Metazip is a new archival file format that harnesses the Metalink protocol and the 21e8 pricing primitive to enable archives that can be extracted dynamically and continuously, resulting in content that matches the architecture or license keys of a target system, and is able to evolve or update itself over time.

A metazip file in its most simple form is a list of content-addressable hashes. The 21e8 pricing protocol enables the creation of sets of hashes where the order of execution is determined by a computational data market.
