Solution Overview

xDSN is built on the IPFS protocol and delivers a multi-layered, token-aligned storage mesh network. Each client-side encrypted data block is redundantly distributed across hot and cold tiers. Mobile devices, VPS nodes, and home storage nodes earn economic incentives for securing and replicating the network.

Key Mechanics

• Incentivized Node Roles (hot & cold tiers)

• Decentralized Encryption & Sharding • All data is encrypted before leaving the client and split into shards, each stored on different nodes—no single node ever holds a complete file or plaintext.

• Validator Nodes (lite & full) • Stake xDSN tokens to run consensus duties, maintain the DHT, and provide uptime proofs

• Storage Nodes (lite & full) • Pin encrypted shards in the hot tier or import and archive snapshots in the cold tier

• Full Storage Nodes • Combine validator and storage responsibilities for premium xDSN token rewards

All participants earn xDSN tokens based on uptime, data replication, storage proofs, geographic dispersion, and adherence to encryption best practices.
