Storage

NOTE: This doc was ARCHIVED, please follow the docs shows in TOC to continue exploring Crust Network

The capacity of storage one candidate or validator provided will determine how many CRUs it can stake.

Storage capacity

If you want to join the network as a candidate, you need to provide your TEE identity and declaim your capacity. The TEE of your local device will generate a proof of your storage capacity. Once the capacity proof has been verified by the network, you will get a limit of the staking you can receive from guarantors. The hand book for candidate is coming soon

Storage proof

Crust keep tracking storage status on every storage provider. To get consideration of both efficiency and justification, we designed tracking mechanism based on PoSt algorithm and TEE hardware local detector module. The detailed document of how Crust combined them is coming soon.

Storage Market

Storage Market subsystem is the data entry point into the network. Users can put and get files through Crust storage market.

Storage order

User orders storage service from storage market by sign a storage order with storage provider. Meanwhile, user need to pay for storage rent. Consider to storage application user friendliness, the on chain payment supports many kinds of assets includes CRU, stable coin and any other popular tokens.

Storage deposit

To keep the availability of storage network, when storage rent order created, storage provider needs to lock a number of CRUs. The deposited CRU amount relates to the order amount.
