Developers and Enterprises use 0Chain to a) provide a single source of truth for documents, and b) better protect data with high performance at no risk

🔰 Customers: Consumers and MSPs

Consumers use 0Chain to store data for privacy, transparency, and anonymity. MSPs (managed storage providers) use 0Chain to store data and provide storage capacity

🔰 Value of ZCN

Value of ZCN is based on amount of data on the network and locked tokens.

🔰 Token Holders

Token holders earn “Interest” tokens immediately when they lock ZCN.

🔰 Miners

Miners earn multiple ways:

a) traditional mining, b) providing storage service, and c) ”interest” ZCN immediately when you stake.
