LocalStorage Dump (LSD) Specification

Editor’s Draft — 4 May 2025

This document is an Editor’s Draft for discussion within the W3C Linked Web Storage (LWS) Working Group. It proposes LocalStorage Dump (LSD) — a lightweight convention and protocol profile that enables Web applications to serialise window.localStorage and persist the resulting data in any user‑chosen Linked Web Storage–compatible backend (e.g., Solid Pods, remoteStorage/Unhosted, WebDAV, nosdav).

Design principle: Per‑origin, per‑user, format‑agnostic, backend‑agnostic, privacy‑preserving.

🕊️ Agentic Principles Manifesto

A call for autonomy, dignity, and trust in the age of intelligent agents.

1. Agents Must Serve the User First

Agents are extensions of human will—not proxies for corporations. They must act in the user’s interest, not in the interest of advertisers, platforms, or centralized authorities.

Introducing Nostr Ricardian Contracts

Nostr Ricardian Contracts combine the clarity of human-readable, legally enforceable agreements with the cryptographic certainty and decentralization of smart contracts on Bitcoin layers. This innovative approach leverages Nostr, a decentralized messaging protocol, to publish signed human-readable legal agreements that accompany traditional smart contract logic running on Bitcoin-based layers such as RGB, Discreet Log Contracts (DLC), Liquid, or Lightning Network.

Key Elements:

1. Human-Readable Clarity: Each contract includes a clearly written, legally interpretable text detailing the contractual terms, signed and timestamped as a Nostr note.

2. Cryptographic Certainty:

Nostr Working Group Charter

1. Mission

The mission of the Nostr Working Group (WG) is to develop standards to support decentralized, interoperable, and secure communication protocols. These protocols aim to empower users with control over their identities, messages, and data using the Nostr protocol. The Working Group will focus on defining core standards for communication, identity management, event handling, and interoperability between Nostr clients and services.

2. Scope

The Nostr Working Group will define technical standards to support decentralized communication and event logging via the Nostr protocol. The scope of the work includes but is not limited to:

• Identity Management: Standards for decentralized identity management and authentication using cryptographic keys.
• Message/Event Format: Defining formats for messages and events, ensuring compatibility and interoperability across different clients.
