Decentralized Storage!

SINSO stores your files using a distributed cache network. As a data storage technology, decentralized storage is replacing traditional servers with distributed networks, of which the cache capacity is supported by substantial participants. Once your data is uploaded, it will be distributed to, stored on and retrieved by a global network of SINSO nodes.

Content Addressing#

SINSO employs content addressing to locate, reference, and retrieve files on the network. Content addressing is a technique for organizing and locating data in a system where the key used to locate content comes from the content itself, not its location. By publishing a content identifier (CID) to each piece of data, content addressing uses an algorithm that always generates the same key for the same content to directly derive a token from the file content. With content addressing, files can be queried and retrieved based on their content rather than their location, which contributes a

Cache Acceleration#

When you upload a file to SINSO, it will be divided into 4KB chunks and distributed to nodes on the network responsible for storing and related services. The more access you have to your data, the more active your data will be.

Immobilize Content to Filecoin#

Developers can store their data permanently on Filecoin, and SINSO Getway provides a convenient bridge. As a secondary cache network, SINSO Getway is also content addressing-based. We can build a layered storage framework for DApps that allows DApp governance data to remain somewhat elastic over time. Filecoin uses a variety of methods to accomplish this mission, including novel cryptography, consensus protocols, and game theory incentives -- among which, perhaps the most important is Filecoin's unique approach to storage verification.

A previously intractable problem with decentralized storage is, how can storage providers prove that they actually store data over a period of time that they say?

Filecoin's storage verification system solves this problem with its proof algorithm:

Replication proof proves that a given storage provider is storing a unique copy of a customer's original data.

Time-space proof customer's data is stored continuously over time.

In addition to this proof system, Filecoin relies on game theory incentives to block malicious or inadvertent activities. To become a Filecoin storage provider, all potential providers must provide collateral in the form of FIL when agreeing to a storage transaction. Besides, any storage provider that fails the space-time proof check will be penalized, lose a portion of its collateral, and ultimately cannot offer storage to the customer again. Working with SINSO Getway to build a layered storage mechanism for DApps not only makes applications resilient and efficient, but also maximizes the potential of the Filecoin network.
