      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document specifies how the Authenticated Transfer (AT) Protocol
   can leverage Media over QUIC Transport (MOQT) for efficient data
   synchronization across decentralized social networks.  The AT
   Protocol&#x27;s firehose event stream and repository synchronization
   mechanisms map naturally to MOQT&#x27;s publish/subscribe model, enabling
   scalable relay infrastructure, priority-based delivery, and improved
   resilience for large-scale social data distribution.

   This specification addresses the challenges of the current WebSocket-
   based transport and demonstrates how MOQT&#x27;s relay architecture,
   group-based caching, and multiplexed streams provide significant
   benefits for AT Protocol deployments at scale.
