Züs

Decentralized Storage Networks

High-performance enterprise-grade decentralized cloud storage platform (formerly 0Chain) with a proprietary two-layer blockchain architecture separating consensus (Miners/Sharders) from storage (Blobbers). Features three-layer data security (fragmentation, proxy re-encryption, erasure coding), QoS-enforced storage agreements, and a ZCN token economy.

Platform Evolution & Sovereignty

Affordances

Self-hostable Local-first storage

Decentralized Storage Network Atributos

P2P Architecture Public Blockchain (DPoS-based two-layer chain; storage on Blobber sidechain)

Overlay Network Global

Content Addressing Yes (files addressed by Merkle hash across Blobbers)

Local-First N/A (cloud model)

E2EE Yes (proxy re-encryption for private sharing; data encrypted client-side)

Byzantine Fault Tolerance Yes (squared-staking DPoS consensus; Sybil resistance via randomized view change; Blobber slashing for non-performance)

Signature Ed25519

Permissions Cryptographic Capabilities (proxy re-encryption keys for sharing; write markers as cryptographic commitments)

Semantic Web Compatability N/A

Smart Contract Yes (storage smart contracts on Züs blockchain; ZüsDAO governance)

Protocol Stack Position Application-layer (built on TCP/IP)

Asset / Value Embedding Native (ZCN token embedded in storage contracts; 'Store = Stake' model links storage to locked ZCN)

Protocol Maturity / Standardization Community Standard (production deployed; proprietary open standard; no formal standards body)

Update Policy Mutable (versioned) — files can be updated via new write markers; immutability available as configuration option

Storage Proof Mechanism Proof of Access (PoA challenges) — Miners issue random challenges to Blobbers; Blobbers must return correct data proofs; failure results in ZCN slashing from challenge pool

Economic / Incentive Model Token rewards (ZCN native token): clients lock ZCN for storage; Blobbers stake ZCN as collateral; reward pool distributed to Blobbers for proven storage; 'Store = Stake' model ties storage capacity to locked ZCN

Retrieval Guarantee Strong (QoS protocol enforces performance SLAs; cryptoeconomic slashing for non-performance; near wire-speed retrieval design goal)
