In the AI era, data is like an endless treasure, but how can we store it properly? Here are four tips:

  • Data security. Data is the heart of AI, and also our wealth. If data is leaked, tampered with, or corrupted, it is like the heart being pierced, the wealth being plundered, and we will suffer huge losses and risks. Therefore, we need to use suitable locks and keys, that is, encryption, authentication, backup, and recovery measures, to protect our data, and keep them intact, available, and not spied on.
  • Data quality. Data quality directly affects AI level and results. If data has errors, noise, bias, or inconsistency, it is like the treasure being mixed with stones, sand, rust, or fake coins, which will make AI judgment inaccurate, inefficient, or even unfair. Therefore, we need to perform effective cleaning, verification, labeling, and management of our data, to improve data authenticity, completeness, and consistency.
  • Data accessibility. Data accessibility determines AI application scope and innovation potential. If data is isolated, closed, or monopolized, it is like the treasure being buried underground, locked in a safe, or owned by someone, which will limit AI development and competitiveness. Therefore, we need to follow the principles of openness, sharing, and collaboration, to facilitate data flow and exchange, while respecting data ownership and privacy.
  • Data scalability. Data scalability reflects data storage capacity and flexibility. As AI develops rapidly, data size and complexity also increase constantly, posing higher demands for data storage. Therefore, we need to use efficient compression, distribution, and migration techniques, to adapt to data growth and change, and optimize data storage cost and performance.

To solve these four problems, Foggie Max, the world’s first decentralized storage server, provides an innovative solution for data storage in the AI era.

  • Data security: Foggie Max uses blockchain technology, Datamall Chain, to store data on multiple decentralized nodes. One Foggie Max is one node, and they form a decentralized network through the incentive of encrypted tokens DMC. This network is like a distributed treasure house, each node is safe, data is encrypted and backed up on multiple points, secure and reliable.
  • Data autonomy: This kind of decentralized physical infrastructure link reduces the various drawbacks that centralized storage may bring, such as data being arbitrarily tampered with and closed by the platform, giving users more data sovereignty and privacy, and helping each Foggie Max user control their data. This is like everyone has their own treasure house, and can manage their wealth as they wish, without interference and restriction from others.
  • Data cost-effectiveness: AI data grows geometrically. If it is stored on the cloud controlled by big companies, the cost is very high. Foggie Max uses DMC tokens as an incentive mechanism, encouraging users to rent out excess storage space while uploading large-capacity videos or audio files, and they can also get DMC tokens, which can offset or reduce the cost of data storage. This is like everyone can rent their safe to others, and also use their wealth to exchange for more wealth, achieving a win-win situation.
  • Data accessibility: DMC recently launched the underlying protocol ERC7585, which was recognized by the Ethereum community. This protocol solves the data storage proof problem. ERC7585 can effectively guarantee the proof of data on the blockchain. ERC7585 and Foggie Max are essential for data-intensive applications, such as machine learning. This is like everyone can use a key, open any safe, and get the data they need, while also ensuring data authenticity and completeness.

In short, data storage is the foundation and guarantee of AI, and we need to pay attention to data security, quality, accessibility, and scalability, to achieve the maximum value and best effect of data.
