Key Components

The DÆTA network relies on three key components—Users, Nodes and Satellites—to enable its decentralized storage system.

The DÆTA network is built upon a triumvirate of essential components: Users, Nodes and Satellites. This triad forms the foundation of our decentralized storage ecosystem, each playing a crucial and interconnected role in the network's operation.

Key Components

Users

Users are the lifeblood of the DÆTA network. They interact with the system through user-friendly interfaces, uploading and retrieving data, managing their accounts and monitoring their usage. Users range from individuals seeking secure personal storage to large enterprises requiring scalable, decentralized solutions for their data needs. The DÆTA client software and web interface serve as the primary touchpoints for users, abstracting the complexity of the underlying decentralized network.

Nodes

Nodes form the backbone of the DÆTA infrastructure. These distributed entities, operated by individuals and organizations worldwide, provide the network's storage capacity and computational resources. Nodes are diversified into three categories:

• Storage Nodes, which form the bulk of the network, storing and serving data.

• Satellite Nodes, which coordinate network activities and manage metadata.

• Bridge Nodes, which facilitate interoperability with other networks and blockchain ecosystems. This multi-tiered node structure ensures robustness, scalability and efficient resource allocation across the network.

Satellites

Satellites act as the orchestrators of the DÆTA ecosystem. These specialized nodes manage critical functions such as metadata storage, network coordination, audit processes and smart contract management. Satellites play a pivotal role in maintaining the network's integrity, optimizing performance and ensuring seamless operations across all components.

The synergy between these key components creates a resilient, efficient and secure decentralized storage solution. Users interact with the network through intuitive interfaces, their data is distributed and stored across a global network of nodes, all orchestrated by satellites that ensure the system's smooth operation. This architecture not only provides robust data storage but also enables advanced features like redundancy, data repair and smart contract-based storage agreements.

By leveraging the strengths of each component, DÆTA achieves a balance of usability, security and decentralization, positioning itself at the forefront of next-generation storage solutions.
