Public blockchains rely on a combination of cryptography and incentive structures that make a system work without centralized control. Cryptography makes some harmful actions practically impossible, while game theory discourages others. Analysis that focuses on this set of mechanisms is called cryptoeconomics. A properly structured crypto economic system can determine whether a network becomes valuable and self-sustaining or struggles to get off the ground.
RCS Storage Platform is to create a decentralized, efficient, and robust network for a huge amount of internet information. There is a decentralized storage network that lets anyone in the world store or retrieve files. It will make storage cheaper and more reliable by helping small players compete directly with well-known centralized services, providing a common interface for providers of all sizes, and greatly reducing migration and transaction costs.
An Overview of the Blockchain Storage Economy.
There are five main actors in the Crypto economy:
- Clients, who store and retrieve data via applications.
- Developers, who develop applications on top of the protocol.
- Retrieval services, which deliver files to clients on demand.
- Storage miners, who store files and help maintain and update the Bitcoin blockchain.
- Token holders, who make Bitcoin a viable currency by using it as a store of value and as a medium of exchange.
Clients’ role in the economy is straightforward but critical: they use Bitcoin tokens to pay for the storage and retrieval of files. cryptoeconomic mechanisms are ultimately intended to support clients’ file storage and retrieval needs.
Developers are a bridge between clients and the Storage network. They build applications to improve clients’ access to coin storage and retrieval markets.
Retrieval services serve as a content delivery network or caching layer to make sure files stored on Bitcoin are efficiently available. Clients can use payment channels to pay for retrieval in tiny increments.
Storage miners earn Bitcoin for their services in three main ways:
- Deal fees, which are direct payments from clients for storing data over time.
- Block rewards are payments made to storage miners by the BitCoin protocol in exchange for participation in Bitcoin consensus (the process of maintaining and updating the blockchain) and providing reliable long-term storage.
- Network message transaction fees, which let users encourage miners to prioritize their transactions.
Most cryptoeconomic constructions are intended to ensure that storage miners, and the Bitcoin network itself, can reliably and sustainably meet clients’ needs.
Token holders provide a bridge between the Storage economy and other markets. They provide liquidity for miners and clients and make it easier to build real-world businesses on the Platform.
Benefits:
A superior network
Bitcoin combines with IPFS, a peer-to-peer distributed network protocol, to make a more efficient and secure web free from corporate control.
Store at hypercompetitive prices
The Bitcoin network achieves staggering economies of scale by allowing anyone to participate as a storage provider and compete for your business.
Provable security and authenticity
Content addressing and cryptographic storage proofs verify data is being stored correctly and securely over time.
