What is LRC?

LRC adds structured sessions on top of chat so realtime apps can share state, not just messages. It keeps metadata minimal while giving you clear room lifecycles and identity inside a session.

  • Session + lobby primitives for small-group rooms
  • Signed events per session (accountability without global accounts)
  • Three streams: chat, shared actions, private events
  • Optional discovery with short-lived records
