We are streamlining the ecosystem. Vault V1 is retiring today to make room for a unified LinkLayer interface.

Ownership of data is more than just having a backup; it's about the ability to move that data wherever you need it. Today's launch of the <strong>LinkStack Vault</strong> provides the security layer for your digital identity, but the future we are building is much larger.
64+
Efficiency is a core pillar of the LinkStack developer experience. During the final audit of our upcoming programmatic features, we realized that the <strong>Vault Protocol V1</strong>—specifically our proposed GET/POST handlers—offered no unique utility over our established <strong>Public API</strong>.

We believe your LinkStack profile should live everywhere you do. We are currently developing a suite of upcoming protocols—<strong>GET and POST</strong>—that will allow external websites to request authorization from you directly.

Imagine landing on a personal portfolio site or a new social tool and being able to "Connect with LinkStack." Once authorized, that website can programmatically export your public data from the Vault and display your links, bio, and social graph natively within their own design.
69+
Rather than maintaining two separate but identical pipelines for data export and link retrieval, we have decided to sunset the Vault-specific endpoints. This ensures that developers have a single, robust point of entry for user data without the confusion of redundant protocols.

While the full API suite isn't out yet, the infrastructure is being laid today. By using the Vault now, you are readying your identity for the next generation of the web—one where you are the sole gatekeeper of your information.

For now, explore the new manual export and restore features in your dashboard. Your data is officially in your hands.

Manual Vault backups (the .json exports) remain fully functional in your dashboard for personal data sovereignty. However, the programmatic "Vault API" mentioned in previous communications will not be proceeding as a standalone service.
