“Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.”

The original vision for the internet was a platform to communicate freely. As the power of what we created was realised it became a place where people could be monitored, controlled, and censored.

Censorship will soon be a forgotten word.

To fight against the direction in which the internet has been taken we’ve created a truly tyranny- and censorship-free new data storage protocol on a blockchain-like structure called the blockweave. The blockweave is based on a novel proof of access consensus mechanism that makes truly permanent, low-cost data storage available for the first time.

Unlike other blockchains, we’ve created truly scalable infrastructure to be the backbone for the data economy, because we’re able to reach up to 5000 transactions per second (TPS), and store data at a fraction of the cost of Filecoin, Siacoin, and Storj.

The blockweave solves two fundamental problems currently associated with public decentralised blockchains:

● On-chain storage constraints; and

● Unsustainable consensus mechanisms

New protocols have had to be built on top of existing infrastructure because fees are too costly for storage on-chain. It’s like reapplying a bandage over, and over again instead of just letting the wound heal. This means there is always going to be a cost to access content, and that content is never stored permanently, and never will be. As the demand for data storage grows exponentially, the need for a decentralized low-cost data storage protocol that permanently stores that data is a necessity.

In this article we explain why it’s important that this problem be solved, for humanity, and for the blockchain ecosystem. More specifically, we explain how we solve these issues in an easy to understand way, because our novel technology has the potential to confuse people reading about it for the first time.

We’ll also touch on our unique token economic structure for miners that means we can guarantee uptime for data with lightning-fast delivery speeds, our beloved SAO (Semi-Autonomous Organisation), as well as examples of unique real world use cases that are currently being built out by our partners, and people like yourself.
