Web 3.0 Decentralized Data Grid Protocol: Stratos
Stratos is a new type of data infrastructure that provides a trustless solution for decentralized storage and solves the dependence of blockchain developers on monopolistic central cloud services.
In the past year, the global application of blockchain technology has made breakthroughs. Digital assets have finally become popular, and cryptocurrencies have aroused unprecedented interest.
DeFi and NFT have emerged in the field of cryptocurrency, and the blockchain industry will continue to expand in 2021. However, for many developers and users, providing a secure cross-platform data infrastructure is still a challenge. Now, the birth of Stratos is expected to solve this problem. It pushes the data infrastructure of the blockchain ecosystem to a new level by providing a decentralized data grid solution.
- Data problems in the blockchain industry
At first glance, blockchain seems to be a perfect way to store data. However, blockchain technology initially only envisioned one type of data: financial transaction records.
In terms of storing other types of data, traditional blockchains are not suitable, especially for connecting different data types to each other. Therefore, many people believe that for many complex use cases, the blockchain cannot effectively decentralize the database.
- How to improve the decentralized data infrastructure
In response to the needs of DeFi, NFT, and increasingly complex blockchain applications, decentralized data infrastructure solutions must solve three old problems:
- Single data structure
The existing blockchain cannot support different types of data formats; trying to merge a large number of data types together will cause problems. Smart contracts define very limited data structures.
- Low operating efficiency
For the blockchain used to record financial transactions and results, it is very difficult to retrieve these data using different conditions. Although smart contracts can be used to define more flexible data structures, once created, retrieval is restricted, and the model and scale cannot be updated.
The performance of the write operation is not ideal. Writing any data in the blockchain requires a consensus process, which leads to a pause of several seconds to several minutes.
- High storage cost
The content of each blockchain node is the same, and any data written into the blockchain will be synchronized to thousands of nodes, which makes the storage cost of the blockchain very high.
Stratos: The era of decentralized data infrastructure
Stratos is a new type of data infrastructure that provides a trustless solution for decentralized storage and solves the dependence of blockchain developers on monopolistic central cloud services. With the help of Stratos's decentralized data grid, a scalable, reliable, and self-balancing new generation of data storage can be realized. No matter its scale, retrieval of data is very simple, safe, efficient and flexible.
Stratos is committed to simplifying the management of decentralized data in the blockchain ecosystem. Developers and users of innovative projects such as NFT, DeFi and DApp, communities based on decentralized governance, traditional enterprises that require CDN services, and smart home solution providers that use edge computing, everyone can efficiently decentralize Benefit from the cloud without the need for massive storage capacity and content acceleration.
- The first decentralized data grid service
Stratos is a virtual grid oriented to structured and unstructured data. It is more flexible and cost-effective than traditional distributed databases.
We are moving towards Web3.0, an open, trusted and permissionless network. Stratos is trying to build a basic service that supports the adoption of blockchain in Web3.0 and helps create smarter, interconnected and open websites.
The main features of Stratos are:
*Support various types and scales of data
·Data lightning upload and retrieval
·Adaptive and scalable database
Long-term acceleration of high-availability storage
· Close to the user
*Community-led and organic growth
Domain specific language supports both blockchain smart contracts and calculations
·Fully integrated platform
- What application will Stratos be the first to launch?
NFT Marketplace
Stratos provides stable and effective private data grid services for the NFT project, enhancing the NFT ecosystem. Storing your encrypted works in Stratos' distributed data grid can protect metadata and add an extra layer of security to your NFT.
StratosNFTMarketplace can not only realize efficient and reliable data exchange and digital product ownership transfer, but also allows owners to have ownership and only allows customers to conduct transactions.
Oracle service, technical support provided by Stratos Network
Stratos' decentralized data storage and distributed data grid have laid a good foundation for the creation of decentralized Oracle services. Stratos ensures the efficiency and security of data sources, transmission and storage.
- Blockchain data aggregation API
Storing and processing data stored in the Stratos virtual data grid can ensure safe and effective retrieval. The decentralized data API provides users with an easy-to-use interface through which data can be easily retrieved and pre-defined data processing tasks can be completed.
- What's next?
In an article published on ResourceNetwork, we will explore our unique traffic to demonstrate how consensus drives the Stratos ecosystem.
The Stratos Value Network Testnet will be launched in mid-June, along with a browser for browsing the blockchain and transaction of the value network, and the wallet will be released on Testnet at the end of June. At that time, the community can begin to become familiar with our API/RPC and transactions, as well as other functions related to the general ledger.
After Value Network, we will launch ResourceNetworkTestnet in July. In order to get the first-hand Stratos decentralized storage experience, we will invite some partners to participate in the test network.
In the third quarter of 2021, we will release some demonstration programs on storage infrastructure for the public to try. On Value Network Testnet and Resource Network Testnet, we will develop the Stratos NFT market. It will be an excellent opportunity to show how the blockchain industry can use our value network and ResourceNetwork to benefit from the Stratos data grid.
Bin Zhu, the founder of Stratos, said: "From my past experience in MindGeek building the entire big data ecosystem for billions of users, I firmly believe that the scalability and high availability of the system infrastructure fundamentally determine the application. The strength of the system. The Stratos team is committed to integrating our strong capabilities and years of top-level enterprise-level infrastructure design and development experience into the decentralized storage, database and computing services of the blockchain industry. The continued development of the entire blockchain industry has laid a solid foundation.
