Akashic Network

Introduction

Akashic is a Layer0 storage network focused on data consensus. Compared to the global ledger of Bitcoin and the global computer of Ethereum, we can simply understand Akashic as the hard drive of the digital world. Akashic employs decentralized technology, combining features such as data permanence, immutability, standardized data formats, and privacy-preserving computation, enabling possibilities for permanent storage of human information, open indexing, and separation of public and private data across all domains of data computation.

In the current WEB3 and blockchain industry, Akashic has made significant pioneering innovations. Through forward-thinking design and proactive strategies, it positions itself as a Layer0 in Web3.0, serving as a crucial infrastructure. Building upon data consensus, if we can apply data standardization to unify global open data, we can further achieve the grand vision of "Web3 full-stack protocols," ultimately realizing the ambitious goal of "permanently storing all data, promoting value interconnection, and constructing a repository of human wisdom."

Mission & Vision

After about 3 to 20 years of efforts infuture, Akashic hopes to provide services for social coordination with the following mission and vision as its goal.

An Infrastructure for Web3

We are in the era of switching from the centralized Internet, that is, Web 2.0, to the decentralized Web3. Under the concept of Web 3.0, the ownership of digital content created by users is clearly owned and controlled by users, and the value created will also be distributed according to the agreements signed by users and others. We need a world-wide web3 infrastructure.

The Hub for Blockchains

Under current circumstances, each blockchain network has formed its own ecosystem and small society, and is an island of value. Many teams have developed a large number of bridges and protocols to link various networks. On this basis, we are carrying out the next step of development. Through the interchain communication protocols, different blockchain networks can communicate securely.

Data Consensus Network

In the new storage-based consensus paradigm, blockchain only needs to ensure the availability and finality of the data stored on it, while the entire computing process is moved off-chain.

Features

Through the following features, especially the concept of openness, Akashicwill attract more ecosystems to join the entire system.

Permanent Storage

Once data is stored in the data structure, new blocks are interwoven with every previous block on the chain. This ensures that any attempt to alter document content will be promptly detected and rejected by the entire network. Akashic guarantees users permanent access rights to stored content, including uploaded data, timestamps, uploaders' information, etc.

Smartweave

Definition: Smartweave is the smart contract standard implemented by the Arweave official team, which Akashic extends. It is based on the concept that frontend pages are smart contracts, allowing developers to manage states using JavaScript frontend scripts. Frontend pages themselves represent various UI logic and states, and developers can build smart contract applications using JavaScript.

IBC

The IBC application layer can be used to build a wide range of cross-chain applications, including but not limited to token transfers, interchain accounts, non-fungible token transfers and oracle data feeds.

Decentralization (Decentralized Nodes)

As an essential component of block validation, transactions are stored on the chain and replicated across the entire network, resulting in data being geographically dispersed worldwide. Nodes, in order to achieve "harmonious incentive alignment," tend to contribute positively to the utility of the network through their actions.

Consensus

SPoRA (Succinct Proofs of Random Access), the consensus mechanism from ARWeave

SPoRA

Proving that miners can access the recall block is part of the process of constructing a new block (on the other hand, the verification of the proof of access is part of the work of validating a new block). Therefore, Akashic adopts Proof of Access (PoA) as its consensus mechanism, later improving it with the SPoRA (Succinct Proofs of Random Access) mechanism.

Blockweave

Akashic points to a randomly chosen previous recall chunk (previously known as recall block), resulting in a spindle-like structure when viewed from a three-dimensional perspective. In terms of stored content, conventional chains primarily store indexes, with data distributed among nodes. However, in Blockweave, block storage includes data information, such as images types, which can be viewed on Akashic's blockchain explorer.

Wildfire Node Scoring Mechanism

Wildfire serves as an incentive measure for data retrieval in Akashic. Since Akashic only charges for data storage and reading is free, in order to encourage nodes to respond to read requests and block generation speed, Akashic has introduced Wildfire: a node scoring mechanism.

BlockShadow

When a node generates a block, it does not submit the entire storage file for review by other nodes. Instead, it places the storage content within the block, transmitting only a segment of hash values and account lists.

Nodes all over the world

Validators and service nodes provide a consensus basis for the network, maintain network security, and provide access point services.
