Datakeeper Node
A Datakeeper is a node in the DeNet network, providing storage space to users as part of the DePIN initiative.
DeNet Storage Protocol enables direct access to storage space from Datakeepers, eliminating intermediaries. Users pay for storage, supporting the network, while Datakeepers are incentivized.
DeNet invites new Datakeepers to get involved, as setting up a Datakeeper node on peaq will become simpler and more accessible than ever so that literally everyone will be able to launch it in a few clicks. The node sale is now live.
How it works:
- To launch the node, you have to purchase a node during the Node Sale. At the moment, you can reserve your spot for the node sale;
- Datakeepers share their storage space and earn rewards for storing users’ data;
- Files uploaded by users are replicated across multiple Datakeepers; each file is encrypted for privacy;
- Proof-of-Storage algorithm verifies stored fragments, enabling payment transactions.
Benefits of being a Datakeeper:
- Accessibility for all: minimal technical requirements and optimized energy consumption;
- No intermediaries: fair interactions among Datakeepers, users, and developers;
- Environmental impact: Proof-of-Storage promotes eco-friendly mining by reusing unused space;
- Contribution to the development of DePIN and opportunity to join at early stage;
- Beneficial conditions: Datakeepers have 2 main sources of income – tokenomics share and payment for data storage.
