Kerala will pull the merkleDAG hash from our own nodeID using the IPNS resolving strategy. If there is a name, Kerala will get the DAG associated with the name by resolving it. The DAG is an acyclic directed graph, so every time a hash is added to it, it points backward in time to all previous hashes. Does that mean a user’s identity is constantly changing? No — that’s what’s great about IPNS. Kerala utilizes both IPNS and IPFS to work seamlessly together. It will associate the HEAD node of a particular DAG with a particular peerID, republishing to IPNS as necessary when new data is added.
