  • a first node defined to produce a resource for publication across the decentralized network;

    a second node defined to be responsible for a resource identifier for the resource produced by the first node, wherein the second node is defined to maintain a subscription registry for the resource that includes identifiers of nodes that are to receive the resource produced by the first node, and wherein the second node is defined to distribute the resource produced by the first node to each node having an identifier included within the subscription registry, such that the first node is not required to distribute the resource that it produces to nodes other than the second node; and

    a third node defined to identify the second node as being responsible for the resource identifier, the third node being further defined to publish a subscription object for the resource,wherein the second node responds to the subscription object by entering the third node on the subscription registry for the resource produced by the first node.
