Introducing the Calculus Network — Initiating the Future of Unlimited Decentralized Storage
Three decades is all it took for the Web to take over the world and evolve into one of the greatest assets, achievement, and quite fairly a perpetual phenomenon. The Web today has enabled us to obtain otherwise incredible innovations in science, technology, commerce, social relations, and so much more. One of the biggest reasons behind the meteoric establishment of the Web as an unquestionable part of an average user’s life is centralization. A dark lurking threat that is seemingly able to cover the internet’s confusing complexity. It is not much of an issue until one realizes that your precious data, personal and public, sensitive, and viral, is constantly being stored in large, centralized pockets, owned by financial; tech giants, who then use “your” data to make profits.
This system and structure make the web and data storage in particular extremely rigid, hampers privacy and security, lacks speedy operations, and blocks transparency. Not to mention the high barrier to entry cost, exorbitant price tags on centralized data storage platforms, and most importantly, the agents the prevent data from being used independently by the users, as well as the absence of a means to use data to innovate and restructure.
Centralized Storage is limited, complicated, brittle, and clogged!
The economic and security insufficiencies of traditional cloud storage are highly concerning. But the cold hard truth is -things don’t have to be this way. Today we address and hunt for data based on its location on the Web but imagine the revolution where the integrity of data stored was maintained at all times. This simple but revolutionary feat can be achieved by adding a tiny cryptographic hash to attach a unique tag or a new identity to the data.
- The bottleneck phenomenon of data storage:
Under the explosive growth, traditional silos of stored data are experiencing an interesting problem. The inability to meet storage requirements in real-time, lack of data centers, and the ignored economic application for the average users haunt the current cloud market. Scalability is lost, and before long, efficiency becomes non-existent.
- All the red flags around data security:
The huge availability of heterogeneous storage solutions is indeed quite a prospect, but the isolated solution they present have created a sort of tribalism, preventing the user from enjoying the benefits of a unified storage system. The dangers of a centralized storage system are profound. From security breaches to unethical ownership of data, lack of privacy, and the inability to regain the loss of mass information in the face of an imminent disaster, are to name a few, haunting red flags.
- Centralized Storage is brittle:
The existing cloud storage terrain is extraordinarily complex and challenging. In order to bring the slightest hints of competitive edge to the table, a centralized service needs to build a global market of multiple and borderless data centers in every corner of the world. Not to mention these data centers will need a stable foundation that stands the test of time, presents an extremely smooth user interface, and a strong marketing network to begin the process of bringing efficiency, technical innovation, and upgradability in the realm of data storage. A feat impossible to achieve in the current landscape.
And a bigger problem-
Unfortunately, the problem is predominant, and the high barrier to entry costs have left the mass data storage in the hands of a select few corporate heads. The predicament becomes even more throbbing when You, the user, are left to leave your trust in the hands of these financial giants. This phenomenon has led to more problems, such as the exorbitantly high fees for switching between centralized data storage services and the phenomenal distance between the destination of the stored data and the original user.
Even if we take these glaring issues with a grain of salt and let things continue as they are:
There is a problem that simply cannot be ignored. There is a huge amount of storage space that remains unused; the inability to monetize this storage space and to bring it back to the consumer has really dampened the efficiency further. Imagine the possibilities if this seemingly unlimited amount of data storage could be bought back to the end-user!
If that were to happen, the entire storage market would become extremely dynamic, flexible, competitive, and efficient. This would, in turn, dramatically reduce the price of data storage, allowing a better economy to manifest in this space.
This brings us to the most important question: How can we build a truly decentralized data storage network that brings a fresh wave of reformation and solves these existing market problems?
The Answer — Calculus!
If you thought exchanging data freely over and between centralized services was a revolution you needed, the Calculus network takes its a step further by offering users to execute borderless data storage, data commercialization, zero-barrier to entry, NFT support, ability to store, manage and analyze large chunks of data for scientific research, a decentralized storage search engine, and a decentralized application for all your data storage needs!
So, what is –
The Calculus Network
Calculus is a Peer-to-Peer network with unlimited horizontal expansion ability offering the lowest network threshold, allowing anybody and everybody to become a node. The Calculus network draws in from the cutting-edge advances of blockchain and cryptographic technologies. When a node provides effective storage and computing resources, they are able to store users’ data while also getting rewarded for the same. One of the key architectural markers of the Calculus network is the unique POSS mechanism. POSS is a hybrid consensus mechanism based on Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Storage. All in all, Calculus shall lower the threshold for easy node access, thereby allowing all interested participants to participate and create an all-inclusive data storage marketplace. We also aim to leverage the innovative POSS incentive mechanism and the Sklearn technology to reward users who run nodes.
- Addressing Data Commercialization needs of users:
By employing the Jaccard Similarity Matching technology to facilitate the identification of data when it is uploaded on the Calculus network for the very first time. Once the data has been initially uploaded, users shall have the choice to add NFT tags to generate NFT data in a matter of a single click.
- Protecting Privacy and the Decency of decentralized Web
By employing the mechanics of privacy computing, Calculus uses a multi-layered security system that ensures that sensitive data such as medical records remain encrypted but open for the authenticated users to draw statistical analysis. Here, Calculus not only preserves a user’s privacy but also allows for unlimited data storage on the network.
- A borderless world — Calculus’s Decentralized Search Engine
The Calculus Network is not only able to obtain and host authentic data of our users but also can access content from other search engines. This leads to the inception of massive data storage network devoid of any boundaries and limitations! Compared to traditional search engines, Calculus is also able to store and classify information much more efficiently.
Harnessing the Calculus network to promote healthier industries
At Calculus, we believe that the decentralized market is powered by simple yet effective protocol tokens — which form a huge part of the next wave of technical innovation. We are radical believers of the fact that this wave holds the potential to reshape and organize the value-based mechanism of the world. The Calculus network presents a completely new dynamic between participants, users, incentives, and the network’s robust ability to create true value.
The Calculus community who store, manage, distribute, and contribute data and storage space on the Calculus network earn the protocol native token- CAL, which they can choose to liquidate into fiat money. The Calculus protocol token is designed to track the that will translate as the value of the token in the long run.
Nodes and users who choose to hold tokens shall share the upside; earning rewards for their contribution is value creation and growth of the Calculus network. The more CAL tokens one holds, the more is incentives they shall have to support the network and ensure its success. This innovative consensus incentive mechanism creates a feedback loop and builds a stronger network of participants who stand to dramatically benefit from the appreciation of the Calculus network.
Reshaping A New Order!
We are excited to be at the forefront of such profound technological innovation that shall reform the Web of data storage to be secure, robust, fast, inclusive, intelligent, and agile. Just as decades ago, the internet unlocked a massive potential for the masses. Calculus is the next wave that the world awaits in unlocking a world of the Unlimited!
