The post The Quest for Blockchain-Grade Storage: How Xandeum Is Raising the Bar for Web3 Data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

You’ve heard of “X-grade Y,” typically in reference to Y’s robustness or general quality. Industrial-grade sanitizer. Military-grade encryption. Space-grade titanium. Well here’s another Y you can add to that list: blockchain-grade storage. As you’ve probably guessed, this entails a solution that maintains a high degree of security and decentralization, qualities that are deeply enshrined in web3 protocols. But there’s more to it than simply optimizing for these two characteristics. Because to warrant the “blockchain-grade” tag, a data storage solution must go further, setting a benchmark for tamper-proof design and privacy. It’s a lot to have to juggle simultaneously, which is why the “blockchain-grade” moniker can’t be applied to every web3 data network out there. Putting it on a blockchain does not mean it makes the grade, any more than an item can be assumed to be high-quality just because the military uses it. In designing its Solana storage layer, Xandeum has given careful consideration to the standards its solution must adhere to. And it’s confident that as a consequence it’s raised the bar for web3 data storage and delivery. But talk is cheap and the real measure of Xandeum’s capabilities comes from a thorough appraisal of what it can do – and whether it can do it without introducing serious trade-offs along the way. So let’s take a closer look at what Xandeum’s packing beneath the hood. Web3 Storage That Makes the Grade The backbone of Xandeum’s storage layer is a network of decentralized storage nodes. Unlike centralized servers, where data resides in a single, vulnerable location, Xandeum distributes data across a global network of nodes. This design eliminates single points of failure. If one node goes offline, the data remains accessible through other nodes in the network. Xandeum’s solution has also been engineered for maximum security. Ensuring a high…
