Thanks. What I miss is an explanation of what can you do with the metanet protocol. It's all very high level, I miss the app level. Maybe I just lack imagination, but it would help me a lot to understand.

You need only link to a node, and the latest version will be served.

One usecase is webpage versioning on chain. See this store I put on the metanet for @501 - just rewrote some of it today as things are progressing quickly. https://api.whatsonchain.com/decode/4ccfcd213224eb96899d3adbf53cbf4ecd73de71dbe381dd0073715257907176

Exactly. Version control. :)

Also this is necessary when you link two pages together. Each must point to the other. Impossible unless each can point to the node at which the other arrives.

That's impressive. You can update the website, because it knows which nodes to use from the root?
