merkle-dag-store 1.0.0

Local Merkle DAG store with content-addressable block storage

Merkle DAG Store

A local Merkle DAG store with content-addressable block storage in Python. Provides immutable, deterministic, block-addressed object storage with DAG linking, snapshotting, and garbage collection.

Features

• Content Addressing: Multiple hash algorithms (SHA256, SHA512, BLAKE2b)
• DAG Linking: Create parent-child relationships between blocks
• Snapshotting: Tag and version DAG states for time-travel
• Garbage Collection: Remove unreachable blocks from storage
• Integrity Verification: Recursive DAG verification
• DAG Traversal: BFS traversal to discover reachable blocks
• SQLite Index: Efficient metadata indexing and access statistics
• Sharded Storage: Filesystem sharding for performance at scale

Installation

pip install merkle-dag-store

Usage

from merkle_dag_store import MerkleDAGStore

store = MerkleDAGStore("./my_dag")

# Store blocks
cid1 = store.put(b"Hello, World!")
cid2 = store.put(b"Linked data")

# Create linked block
cid3 = store.put(b"Parent", links=[str(cid1), str(cid2)])

# Create snapshot
store.snapshot(str(cid3), tag="v1.0")

# Verify integrity
assert store.verify(str(cid3), recursive=True)
