The database is implemented as a peer-to-peer network distributed across "Browser Peers" and "Runtime Peers". It employs multi-master replication with a custom commutative replicated data type (CRDT).[citation needed]
GUN is currently used in the decentralized version of the Internet Archive.[3][4]
