Protocol
The Züs Storage Protocol defines the fundamental rules, structures, and mechanisms that govern data storage, access, validation, and security within the decentralized Züs ecosystem.
It ensures efficient, tamper-proof, and high-availability storage by leveraging blockchain technology, cryptographic proofs, and economic incentives for storage providers.
Key Components of the Protocol
we will discuss the following key components:
Allocations – Smart Storage Contracts
Reference Objects – File Metadata & Management
Challenges – Proof-of-Storage Validation
Write Markers – Proof of Data Uploads
How the Protocol Ensures Security & Reliability
Blockchain-Enforced Data Integrity: Every storage transaction is recorded on-chain, ensuring immutability and auditability.
Decentralized Storage with Redundancy: Data is sharded and distributed across multiple blobbers, preventing single points of failure.
Economic Incentives for High Availability: Blobbers are financially rewarded for uptime and penalized for storage failures, ensuring continuous reliability.
Smart Contract-Managed Operations: All storage-related actions, such as creating allocations, updating metadata, and validating challenges, are governed by self-executing smart contracts on the Züs blockchain.
