File Storage

Our platform utilizes a dual storage solution: Arweave for permanent, decentralized storage on mainnet, and Google Cloud Storage (GCS) for efficient testnet storage.

Storage Architecture

Mainnet Storage (Arweave)

  • Permanent, decentralized storage
  • One-time payment for perpetual storage
  • Data immutability
  • Blockchain-based permanence

Testnet Storage (GCS)

  • High-performance cloud storage
  • Cost-effective for testing
  • Scalable infrastructure
  • Quick data retrieval

Storage Implementation

Content Management

  • Automatic storage selection based on network
  • Metadata synchronization
  • Content integrity verification
  • Direct URL access

Storage Features

  • Network-specific optimization
  • Automated data management

Benefits

Advantages

  • True permanence on mainnet via Arweave
  • Cost-effective testnet storage with GCS
  • High availability and reliability
  • Optimized for different use cases

Important Notes

  • Mainnet files are permanently stored on Arweave
  • Testnet files are stored on GCS with limited retention
  • Content is publicly accessible
  • Consider file size limitations
  • Verify metadata before uploading
