🗃️Storage

Because everything of value must be kept somewhere...

In this section, we're steering clear of any sugar-coated promises and getting straight to the point. What we aim to accomplish is refreshingly straightforward:

1. Data Control and Accessibility: We're determined to store data in a manner that hands us the reins—complete control and the flexibility to permit apps access as needed.

2. Efficient Data Sharing: We're focused on streamlining data sharing across various applications and services.

3. Independence from Centralization: Wherever our data resides on the vast internet landscape, we're striving to ensure it remains highly independent of centralized services. No more data shackles!

4. Simplicity and Compatibility: We're not here to complicate matters. We aim to maintain backward compatibility with existing storage solutions, ensuring smooth operation without unnecessary overhead.

In essence, it's all about empowering you to take control of your data and enjoy a seamless, independent digital experience. We believe in keeping things clear and simple, and our objectives reflect just that.

How do we plan to solve these problems?

You might be wondering, how do we intend to address these complex issues? The truth is, we're taking a pragmatic approach by creating specialized database software that can effectively meet these demands. Let's delve into what "specialized" means in this context:

1. Independence from Centralization: Our databases are meticulously crafted with libp2p as a central element in their networking architecture. This empowers nodes worldwide to efficiently synchronize and manage data requests and responses. As a permanent storage solution, these nodes collaborate to maintain a canonical copy of every piece of data, all securely stored on IPFS.

2. Backward Compatibility and Minimal Overhead: We're committed to ensuring that using our databases doesn't feel like deciphering cryptic incantations. Our aim is for these databases to seamlessly integrate with existing database systems. We're not stopping at one-size-fits-all; we're aim to develop three database types: relational, key-value, and document databases, all designed to function harmoniously with your existing processes.

3. Control: Control is at the heart of our mission. These databases are designed to store data in a way that grants the application that writes the data revocable access, putting the control in the hands of the user or DID controller who owns the data.

4. Flexibility for Seamless Data Sharing: We understand that flexible data sharing might sound like a daunting task, but it ultimately comes down to how data is represented at the core level of the network. While we're still exploring various solutions, rest assured, we're actively working on making this vision a reality. Stay tuned for more updates on our progress!

In essence, our approach revolves around creating database solutions that seamlessly align with your current practices while giving you unprecedented control over your data. It's a comprehensive strategy aimed at empowering users and applications alike. We're committed to making it work, no matter the challenges that lie ahead.

Thank you!
