The New Era of Data Economy: The Rise of Decentralization Storage and Data Availability Layer

With the in-depth development of the data economy, people have widely participated in various data storage activities. The arrival of the Web3 era has driven the upgrading and transformation of the technology sector, with decentralized storage serving as a key infrastructure that will be widely applied in social data, short videos, live streaming, and smart vehicles in the future.

In the Web3 era, data has become a core asset, and user ownership of data is a significant feature. Ensuring that users securely own their data and the assets it represents helps alleviate ordinary users' concerns about asset security, thereby attracting more users into the Web3 ecosystem. An independent data availability layer will play an indispensable role in this process.

From Traditional Storage to Decentralization Solutions

Traditional centralized cloud storage methods can no longer meet the current market demands. As users' requirements for personal information security and data storage continue to rise, especially after data breach incidents involving some large data operators, the drawbacks of centralized storage have become increasingly apparent. In addition, the advancement of the Web3 era and the development of blockchain applications have made data more diversified and its scale continuously growing, resulting in a more comprehensive dimension of personal network data that is also more valuable, thus raising higher demands for data security and privacy protection.

Decentralization storage has emerged as one of the most关注的基础设施 in the Web3领域. Compared to traditional cloud storage, decentralized storage follows the principles of the sharing economy, utilizing massive edge storage devices to provide services, with data actually being stored on Provider nodes. In this model, project parties cannot control user data, which enhances data security.

The Importance of Data Availability Layer

The emergence of the Data Availability (DA) layer addresses the issue of ensuring data availability and accuracy for light nodes without participating in consensus. An independent data availability layer effectively prevents single points of failure and maximizes data security.

In Layer 2 scaling solutions, the data availability layer also plays an important role. For example, Layer 2 solutions like zkRollup need to store the raw data of batch transactions in a dedicated data availability layer, while only recording the Merkle root of the data calculation on the consensus layer, which is a more reasonable and long-term design trend.

Celestia: Decentralization Data Availability Public Chain

Celestia provides an independent data availability blockchain, featuring verification nodes, block producers, and consensus mechanisms to enhance security levels. Layer 2 publishes transaction data to the Celestia main chain, where validators sign the Merkle Root of the DA Attestation and send it to the DA Bridge Contract on the Ethereum main chain for verification and storage.

Celestia adopts an optimistic proof mechanism, which is highly efficient when the network is operating normally. Light nodes only need to receive data and recover according to the encoding, and the entire process is very efficient under normal conditions.

MEMO: Next Generation High Capacity, High Availability Storage Network

MEMO is a decentralized data storage protocol based on blockchain peer-to-peer technology, designed to achieve large-scale, high-security, and high-reliability data storage. The MEMO main chain controls key operations such as data upload, storage node matching, system operation, and punishment mechanisms through smart contracts.

The uniqueness of MEMO lies in its use of erasure coding and data recovery technology to enhance storage security and efficiency. The system introduces the Keeper role to prevent nodes from being maliciously attacked, maintaining economic balance through mutual checks between multiple roles. MEMO is capable of supporting enterprise-level commercial storage applications, providing secure and reliable cloud storage services for NFT, GameFi, DeFi, SocialFi, and more, while being compatible with Web2, achieving a perfect fusion of blockchain and cloud storage.

With the continuous development of decentralized storage and data availability layers, the Web3 ecosystem will become healthier, safer, and more efficient, providing users with better data control and asset management experiences.
