The Internet, or the World Wide Web has taken over the world and changed it forever, along with humanity inhabiting it!
The Internet, or the World Wide Web has taken over the world and changed it forever, along with humanity inhabiting it. We no longer live and work the way we used to.
Internet rendered a lot of items obsolete, namely phone books and paper maps. Who needs these volumes of encyclopedias of we have Wikipedia?
This free online knowledge base that derives its name from the Hawaiian word for “quick”, has made it to top six most visited websites on the planet in just a few years.
Anyone with an internet access can add and edit articles on any topic…
By the way, the fact it’s easily edited is what prevents a lot of hacks in the first place. Who would need to hack it if you can edit any article anyway? Vandalize biographies of the people you hate, there’s nothing to stop you. However, hacks would still take place, and even though the website is hosted on a powerful server, it’s still centralised. Centralised servers turn out to be the first point of failure for any online project. If the server has an owner, it can be seized, stolen, or simply shut down by the owner if his life is at risk. It’s manageable if all the server contained is a bunch of open source educational articles, but what if there was sensitive data?
Decentralised data storage can solve this issue. When multiple data nodes store information on their hard drives, and the information is fragmented and distributed between them, it’s safe to say the data is as secure as it can ever be. The only person who holds the key to stored information is its owner.
This is why decentralised systems are now the new online security standard.
The DApps market is constantly growing, and Casper API couldn’t come any later. Our goal is to help decentralised application developers decentralise their data storage, and we’re great at it!
