What is a #CID?

It’s some kind of identifier that AT Protocol appears to use, but I can’t find a definitive resource on what it is or how it’s defined, and it appears to be related somehow to cryptocurrency (maybe?).

To make matters worse, there doesn’t appear to be any #PHP libraries that will parse or create CIDs.

There’s this one, but it doesn’t appear to support all CID codecs (not sure I understand that correctly)? github.com/danny50610/php-cid

@ramsey The only reference I can find to it in the documentation is here: atproto.com/guides/application. Looks like it's a sha256 of content used to track whether something has been edited.
