dat started in 2013 and is a 501c3 public good organisation. the initial dat grew into a protocol, then into a project, then into a foundation hosting multiple projecys, into an ecosystem of projects with the dat a.k.a hyper stack having its own peer to peer runtime, much closer to the original nodejs vision of the early days.
The dat stack or hyper-stack including hypercore is open source and does not and will never use any blockchain.
