Continuum Is Quietly Becoming Something Larger

The addition of Vault v1 reveals a broader pattern inside Continuum’s architecture: the platform is evolving beyond publishing into a unified local-first authority workspace. This article explores how identities, encrypted storage, signing systems, archives, and proofs all converge around the deeper concept of user-controlled authority rather than cloud-managed convenience.

Continuum Vault - v1 - Monday, May 11, 2026

Vault v1 became fully operational inside Continuum in under 8 hours. The new system introduces encrypted local vault storage integrated directly into the Continuum workspace, including lock/unlock workflows, CRUD editing, backup support, and master-password-based encryption. More importantly, the milestone reinforces Continuum’s evolution from a publishing platform into a broader local-first authority workspace managing identities, signing systems, encrypted artifacts, and sensitive data under user control.
