With end-to-end encryption in GUN, what role does the server play? I assume the merging type activity happens in the clients?

BTW, the name makes it almost impossible to search for info about GUN.

Yes, merging is per peer, not server transformed.

"Servers" act as WebRTC bootstrapping signals, storage backups, relay/routing, etc., and you can have as many of them as you want (no need to be centralized).

True. `gunDB` tag should help a little.
