With the continuous development of blockchain and Web3 technologies, the importance of decentralized storage is increasingly recognized. Decentralized storage has many advantages, such as improving data security and reliability, preventing single points of failure, and allowing users to have better control over their data. However, in practical applications, decentralized storage also faces some challenges, such as low storage efficiency and high costs.
Through research on decentralized storage projects in the market, we are impressed by the public chain project Datamall Chain, which has designed a game-theoretic consensus mechanism aimed at achieving efficient decentralized storage. This mechanism not only meets the different needs of users for storage media but also ensures the interests of both storage providers and storage consumers. The following will provide a detailed understanding of the decentralized storage process and game-theoretic consensus mechanism of Datamall Chain.
In Datamall Chain, the entire storage process is very simple. First, storage providers will post orders, and then storage consumers can freely choose orders and rental periods. Before storing data, consumers need to pay the corresponding fees and pay these fees to the contract. Once the contract is in a pending delivery state, consumers can store data in the provider's space. After the storage is completed, both parties agree to enter the execution state. If any disputes arise, consumers can initiate an on-chain storage challenge; disputes only go on-chain, which can greatly reduce the burden on the chain.
In the process, the game-theoretic consensus mechanism is mainly reflected in three points:
1. Security through deposits
Compared to traditional storage solutions, the biggest challenge for decentralized storage is how to ensure that storage providers store data as promised and do not lose or tamper with the data. In traditional storage solutions, this issue is usually resolved through contracts and legal means.
However, in Datamall Chain's decentralized storage solution, the behavior of storage providers is ensured through an incentive mechanism. In the game-theoretic consensus mechanism, storage providers need to stake DMC as a deposit to ensure they store data as promised. If storage providers violate the contract, they will face penalties and lose their staked DMC. Conversely, if storage providers comply with the agreement, they will receive rewards, and the staked DMC will be returned.
2. Transparent competition leads to reasonable market pricing
Currently, decentralized storage solutions in the market have opaque pricing and overly complex pricing mechanisms, but Datamall Chain uses a quoting method where storage parties post orders, making prices more transparent. Storage providers sell storage space based on their storage capacity, with varying prices and rental periods, and can also set a certain order deposit amount. This free competitive market model allows storage consumers to freely choose their preferred storage service providers.
3. Retaining the consumer's right to pursue accountability
For decentralized systems, ensuring that miners store data as promised is a very important issue. To address this, DMC adopts a storage challenge mechanism. This design of storage challenges is very interesting; consumers will choose a random space, and then the provider will send a hash value to prove that it has stored the data. If the hash value is correct, it can prove that the provider has stored the data. If the challenge cannot be completed within the specified time, the contract is terminated, and the consumer retrieves the payment made and receives compensation from the provider.
For Datamall Chain, the greatest advantage lies in its ability to lay the foundation for fully decentralized large-scale applications. Its game-theoretic consensus mechanism will ensure storage security while improving storage efficiency and scalability, thus laying a solid foundation for future Web3 data storage facilities.
The decentralized storage process of Datamall Chain ensures the interests of both storage providers and storage consumers while minimizing the burden on the chain, achieving higher scalability. It is believed that Datamall Chain will become a reliable Web3 data storage facility in the future, injecting new momentum into the development of the digital economy and digital society.
