Outdated concepts

1. Properties, Restrictions, and Property Managers​

Q. What happened to Properties, Restrictions and Property Managers?

In the evolution of the Nexera Standard, the concepts of Properties and Property Managers have been updated. They have been replaced by DataPoints and DataManagers, which offer more flexibility and precision in managing on-chain data. DataPoints replace the older Property concept as the fundamental reference to the stored data, and DataManagers replace the concept of Property Managers.

Q. I haven't seen an ODC component as part of the standard, why?

The standard has evolved toward a more decentralized and composable architecture, where the term "ODC" is now more conceptual, referring to the overall management of user data via these modular components. DataPoints and DataManagers replace the previous centralized ODC component, to now provide a more targeted, structured management, making the architecture easier to scale and implement across different systems. This allows for greater flexibility, as there is no single "ODC container" per user, but rather a network of interconnected data points, managed dynamically by DataManagers, that can interact with various decentralized systems and protocols. Of course, if the user decides to utilize a single container this is still possible.

Q. How has a Property evolved into a DataPoint in the new Nexera Standard?

The main difference between a Property and a DataPoint lies in their roles and usage within the on-chain data management ecosystem. Properties held or represented actual data stored within a unique container for each user. DataPoints, in contrast, are compact identifiers that link to external data, ensuring scalability, interoperability, and modularity. DataManagers now control the interaction with these DataPoints to manage data access and usage securely​.
