- interface detail: none
- tooling: No public API. Only the crypto layer is open source (github.com/webtorrent/wormhole-crypto).
- composes with: 5 GB stored x 24 hours. Nothing compounds — files are permanently deleted after 24 hours and the service has no account model.
- reliability: The 24-hour hard delete plus P2P-above-5GB means the service has no durable component at all.
