As the blockchain world evolves, the need for sustainable and secure data storage becomes critical. Xenea tackles this challenge with two cutting-edge systems: DACS (Decentralized Autonomous Content Storage) and SGM (Sustainable Generation Manager). These technologies ensure that your NFT data is safe, lasts forever, and is easy to access.
What is DACS? (Decentralized Autonomous Content Storage)
DACS is a fancy term for a distributed file storage system that connects to Xenea’s blockchain. Let’s break it down:
Decentralized Storage
Unlike traditional storage, which relies on one server (like Google Drive), DACS splits NFT data across multiple nodes. Each node is a computer that contributes to storage in the Xenea network.
How Does It Work?
When you upload an NFT, its data (image, video, or file) is stored across multiple nodes.
Each file is also accompanied by a hash—a unique digital fingerprint that ensures the data hasn’t been tampered with.
These hashes are stored on Xenea’s blockchain, so anyone can verify the integrity of the NFT.
Why is it Better?
No Single Point of Failure: If one node crashes, other nodes still have your data.
Global Accessibility: The system works like a network of backup servers spread worldwide.
Analogy:
Imagine you’re storing a family photo album. Instead of keeping it in one location, you distribute copies to family members worldwide. Even if one loses it, the others can restore it. That’s what DACS does for NFT data.
Becoming a DACS Node Owner
DACS nodes are the backbone of this system. Let’s explore how someone can become an owner:
Storage Requirements
You’ll need a minimum of 200TB of storage space. That’s equivalent to storing over 40,000 HD movies!
XENE Token Collateral
To run a node, you must stake 100,000 XENE tokens as collateral.
If you want to provide more storage (e.g., 300TB), you need to stake an additional 50,000 XENE per 100TB.
Daily Rewards
DACS node owners earn rewards based on how much storage they contribute compared to the total network storage.
The more space you provide, the more rewards you get.
Real-Life Example:
Imagine you own a data center with hundreds of terabytes of free space. By becoming a DACS node owner, you can rent out this space to the Xenea network, earn rewards in XENE tokens, and help secure NFT storage.
Challenges DACS Solves
Data Loss Prevention
By spreading NFT data across multiple nodes, DACS ensures that no single hardware failure results in data loss.
Scalability
As the demand for NFTs grows, more nodes can join the network, providing additional storage without performance issues.
Cost Efficiency
Decentralized systems like DACS lower storage costs compared to traditional cloud storage.
Sustainable Generation Manager (SGM): The Guardian of NFT Longevity
While DACS ensures decentralized storage, SGM goes a step further to make sure your data lasts forever.
Why Do We Need SGM?
Storage devices don’t last forever. Over time, they can wear out, or their data may become corrupted. SGM is a system designed to prevent these issues.
How Does SGM Work?
Replication Every 180 Days:
Data stored on a DACS node is copied to a new node every 180 days. This ensures that even if the original node fails, the data is safe.
Recycling Old Nodes:
Once data is moved, the old storage space is cleaned and reused for new content.
Example:
Think of SGM as a librarian who checks on books every six months. If a book’s shelf is unstable, the librarian moves it to a new, safer shelf while cleaning up the old one for future use.
How SGM Protects Data
Monitoring:
SGM constantly monitors all nodes to track when data needs to be moved.
Timestamp-Based Updates:
Every piece of data gets a timestamp when stored. Once the 180-day mark is reached, SGM automatically migrates it to a new node.
Handling Physical Damage:
If a node is damaged, SGM moves data to other nodes in the network without human intervention.
FASTD: Priority Access for Important Data
Xenea introduces Fast Track Contents Delivery Manager (FASTD) for data that needs quick access.
What Does FASTD Do?
It prioritizes certain NFT content (like financial NFTs) for faster loading times.
FASTD creates a special cache area for this content, reducing delays.
Why is it Useful?
Some applications, like trading platforms or financial tools, can’t afford slow response times. FASTD ensures that critical data is always available instantly.
Analogy:
Think of FASTD as a VIP lane at the airport. Important travelers get through security faster, just like important NFT data gets prioritized in the system.
