Immudb 1.0 – open-source, immutable database with SQL and verified timetravel

Seems like a database that stores content hashes. Very cool but what makes it better than simply adding a table to my database (or a DB specifically for this) and running `insert into content_hashes...`?

The above approach also allows me to choose any database because I can model this data however I want.

immudb can hold the actual data. An equivalent approach using an existent database without this features will involve creating a cryptographic data structure which captures not only individual content but the entire history of changes. Also having the functionality to construct and verify the cryptographic proofs to validate read data
