As the promoter of the blockchain industry, the AOFEX platform immediately carried out an ecological layout on distributed storage, and launched various distributed storage tokens in the digital financial transaction section, such as: FIL6, BTT, STORJ, CRU, ANKR, Distributed storage of popular tokens such as BLZ, SC, and AR.
In 1990, HTTP became the basic supporting protocol of the World Wide Web. During this time, HTTP made a great contribution to the development of the Internet. However, as the Internet became larger and larger, the drawbacks of the existing HTTP protocol were gradually exposed. For example, the traditional Internet relies on centralized servers, with slow transmission speed, inability to store data permanently, limited bandwidth, and easy congestion. These shortcomings have seriously hindered the development of the Internet, especially with the rise of innovative technologies such as 5G, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, the demand for data storage has also exploded. The Internet urgently needs new technologies to resolve these contradictions.
IPFS, the distributed storage project of the Protocol Laboratory, was initiated in May 2014 and has been 6 years. IPFS is called Inter Planetary File System, literally translated as “Inter Planetary File System”, a distributed storage application. It can effectively solve many drawbacks of centralized protocols. For example, data can be stored permanently; because files are divided into multiple files and downloaded from multiple servers, hackers cannot attack; under the design of multipoint transmission, network bandwidth costs can be controlled, and user access and The speed of downloading.
Currently in the blockchain industry, both Filecoin and IPFS come from Protocol Labs, but although IPFS is similar to blockchain, it is not a blockchain, while Filecoin is a pure blockchain project, and Filecoin is one of IPFS. Incentive layer. This reward is mainly used to motivate users to provide nodes and storage; under this economic incentive, a huge number of nodes and massive storage space are created for the IPFS network.
In addition to the most popular IPFS in the current distributed storage market, other companies such as BTT and SOTRJ also have good performance. BitTorrent (BTT) is a TRC-10 utility token based on the TRON blockchain. BitTorrent has expanded its familiar protocol. , Realize that can cooperate with each other, so as to efficiently and reliably distribute large files to multiple clients. STORJ is a cloud storage platform that is committed to being censor-free, monitoring-free, and non-stop. The STORJ platform allows users to store data in a secure and decentralized manner through encryption and a series of decentralized applications.
According to the analysis of the white paper officially released by Filecoin, it is estimated that by 2021, the cloud storage market will reach 7.5 billion US dollars. The migration from traditional storage to cloud storage has always been a hot topic in the market, and the market for data storage has become very large. Although the market today is still dominated by centralized storage, the momentum of distributed storage has become stronger.
The core of blockchain distributed storage is decentralization, trustlessness, and decentralization, and it is also the natural combination of distributed storage and blockchain. Now more and more companies are entering the distributed storage market. In addition to the traditional cloud storage giants, star projects in the field of blockchain distributed storage, as well as companies in the distributed cloud computing industry, have all joined and competed.
The Filecoin mainnet will also be officially launched when the block height reaches 148888. The current block height has reached 138720. The mainnet is expected to be launched on the 15th of this month. After the launch of the mainnet, AOFEX will also list Filecoin as soon as possible and start related activities. The launch of Filecoin will greatly promote the IPFS ecology and will inject new vitality into the IPFS ecology through its economic model. IPFS itself already has mature applications and a huge market; the launch of Filecoin will not only accelerate the replacement of the HTTP protocol by IPFS, but will also give a huge boost to the development of the distributed storage market.
While the current concept of distributed storage continues to heat up, some risks still cannot be ignored. For example, there is still no effective answer to the conflicts between the distributed storage of IPFS and the legal supervision and data security policies of various countries. Among them, the compliance risk of distributed storage data involves compliance requirements in multiple links such as data collection, use, storage, flow, deletion, and cross-border. These requirements are a test for all participants; so we still need Take a rational look at the entire distributed storage market.
As the world’s leading digital financial derivatives exchange, AOFEX is committed to providing users with a very secure encrypted digital currency trading environment and user experience. AOFEX hopes to use the platform currency OT to establish closer connections with users and partners, explore richer landing application scenarios, participate in the construction of the AOFEX ecosystem, grow together with AOFEX, and jointly promote the development of the blockchain industry and achieve mutual benefit. win.
In order to meet the needs of users for recharge and transaction of storage projects, AOFEX platform will further promote the development of blockchain distributed storage market. AOFEX will open the “Storage Carnival Week, Golden Autumn” at 10:00 (GMT+8) on October 14, 2020. Shuangyin 200,000AQ” campaign, users are welcome to participate actively.
