Roadmap

Blocknode addresses these issues by launching a truly usable decentralized file storage network. Key innovations include:

• Price Competitiveness: Blocknode’s decentralized architecture allows for a significantly more attractive pricing model compared to traditinal centralized storage providers.
• S3 Compatibility: Blocknode supports the full AWS S3 API via a custom gateway or SDK, enabling seamless migration for existing Web2 and Web3 apps.
• No Minimum Storage Duration: Users can store files for any length of time, from seconds to months, supporting real-time use cases like anonymous file sharing.
• High Throughput Architecture: File data is stored in MinIO buckets (S3-compatible), while metadata is cryptographically signed and stored with validator nodes—off-chain but verifiable.
• Validator Layer: A decentralized quorum of nodes monitors Proof of Storage, validates actions, and enforces Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
• Zero-trust Model: A Solidity-based smart contract on BNB Chain handles API keys, user permissions, staking, and payments, unlocking full transparency for all network participants.
