Alternative Client Builds: ARM64 Devices

Looking for a distributed Storage solution for your IOT project?

0Chain have a ‘lite’ client which is compatible with ARM64 devices such as the Raspberry PI 3B, 4 etc.

Some benefits of 0Chain compared with other distributed offerings:

• The Blockchain is fast! Blocktime and finality are in the order of a few seconds not minutes.
• There is no heavy consensus to download or keep synchronized.
• There is no centralised portal or website.
• There are no emails or personal information required.
• There are no usage restrictions in place (that require time-consuming manual requests to increase).
• Just a few ZCN will be required to get started (no payment cards requiring personal information or minimum deposit amounts).
• Our Erasure Coding is totally configurable. So you can balance how many parts your data is split into (for speed and diversity) plus how many parity parts (for redundancy and availability) depending on your requirements for a particular project. You can have multiple ‘allocations’, each with their own configuration.
• You don’t need to stay online and check that your data is still being stored. Our miners constantly challenge the blobbers (storage miners) to ensure availability.
• Data encryption option is natively built in (with private share ability)

These are in addition to benefits of considering distributed storage over cloud:

• Efficiency. Rather than data being replicated several times, Sharding of data with Erasure Coding gives much higher availability with more efficiency
• Cost. Huge potential savings compared to Big Cloud providers
• Higher availability. Network and DataCenter problems are mitigated.
• Speed. Parallel downloading of data shards means you are only limited by your bandwidth, not the bandwidth of a centralised cloud provider.
