As claimed before, the Infrastructure Torrent Node is aimed at supporting the functioning of enterprise users such as exchanges, retail, banking, and others which usually support and track their users’ accounts on their own and require to download the whole blocks from the chain rather than request balances or transaction history. Infrastructure Torrent is used to store these exactly entire blocks for enterprise clients, thus unloading the torrents which are used by the end users. Delegation of storing the blocks for enterprises to the community is entirely secured as each of these blocks has a signature of the core which guarantees its authenticity.
