Decentralised Storage

Unlike a centralized server operated by a single company or organization, decentralized storage systems consist of a peer-to-peer network of user-operators who hold a portion of the overall data, creating a resilient file storage sharing system. These can be in a blockchain-based application or any peer-to-peer-based network.

When looking at decentralized storage (dStorage) options, there are a few things a user must keep in mind.

• Persistence mechanism / incentive structure
• Data retention enforcement
• Decentrality
• Consensus
