Decentralized Peer-to-peer Cloud

The Internet is owned by the people. compute / store / network

Storage

  • Zdb = Zero Database, operating in an "append only" manner, periodically "compacting" the data, to remove what's no longer needed
  • Zdbfs = Zdb Filesystem (single node only)
  • Zstor solution for spreading data across multiple nodes (Erasure Encoding: With basic redundancy, four extra copies would be needed => same failure tolerance using less than half the space needed for the original data)
  • QSFS = Quantum Safe Filesystem, TF's flagship storage solution

Compute = process the data

  • ThreeFold Compute Primitives
  • Zmachine = lightweight virtual machine (VM)
  • Flist = next generation container format which extends the industry standard Docker container concept in an efficient and secure way
  • Kubernetes = industry standard container orchestration system, it's used to manage many of the largest and most complex cloud deployments

Network

Decentralized Autonomous Organization

  • Decentralized = Online, global, uncensorable.
  • Autonomous = Self-governing.
  • Organization = Coordination & collaboration around shared objectives.

Summary

  • organizational form that is fully manifested in software and not bound to any location, state, and government.
  • with the interest in the blockchain technology, is moving into the spectrum of digital products
  • promises to be a flexible, favorable and transparent form of organization.

Components and properties

  • Autonomy => blochain
  • Currency => own currency, token
  • Proposals => any member of the organization can submit and vote
  • Transparency => capturing all aspects and processes on the blockchain
  • Vote and consensus => agree on a consensus to determine the state of the blockchain
  • External Contractor => external service providers from the “central world” are probably unavoidable

Unexplained questions

  • statelessness and legal certainty: risk of regulation and boycotting from classical parties (governments, banks, corporations).
  • faulty source code or technical risks like the 51% attack

ThreeFold DAO

Layer 2 = ecosystem security layer

  • only 1 blockchain with 100 validators, secures the multiple Layer 1 networks.

Layer 1 = internet of blockchains layer

  • ultimate scale because of thousands or millions of blockchains

Layer 0 = the IT capacity layer

  • cloud computing layer
  • provide compute, storage and network resources to L1 and L2
