Blobbers are storage providers within the platform. Users can choose from multiple brands, and rewards increase as more users opt for a specific branded blobber.

Here are the steps to replace a blobber:
Go to the blobber section in the Storage Details and click on Replace Blobber.
Choose one of your existing blobbers to remove.
Choose a blobber to add. You can select a blobber branded by Züs or choose from any available brands.
Optional: During the selection process, click on the 'restricted blobber' option if you wish to use a private blobber. More information on Restricted Blobbers here.
After selecting the blobber, a summary of your choice will be displayed. Verify all details are correct. Click on the 'confirm' button to finalize the addition of your chosen blobber. You will have to pay ZCN tokens to confirm the action. After payment, the new blobber will be integrated into your storage configuration on the platform, while the other one will be removed.
If you don't need your allocation anymore, or you need to recreate another allocation, you can cancel your allocation by clicking on "Cancel Allocation".
Then you need to proceed to pay the cancellation fee, then the allocation will be cancelled.
After cancelling your allocation, your data will be completely ERASED from the storage servers.
