Current Market Situation

The digital society is producing information like never before, which needs to be maintained indefinitely and made available in real time from anywhere in the world. IT organizations must deal with large volumes of data distributed across different platforms, applications, and storage systems, facing challenges of staff availability, device proliferation, and increased operating costs. To overcome these challenges, better storage management solutions are needed.

"Data storage has become one of the fastest growing IT items," so it's important for businesses to choose the storage option that works best for them. Unfortunately, some factors such as cost and maintenance are difficult to determine, and weighing the advantages and disadvantages of each storage option can be complicated.

In Simple Terms: What is Casper API?

It is the ideal platform to lead the data storage market, providing security, stability and confidence through its structure in Blockchain, intelligent contracts, thus allowing to offer a higher quality service than any other competitor currently in the market, but also managing to present all this at a lower cost than any competitor.

Currently, user behavior indicates a great interest in the storage of their data in services known as "the cloud" (storage on servers connected through the internet), taking these signals into account as guides to what the future holds, Casper API designed its entire service platform around a simple notion of "presenting the best possible storage service"; and to achieve this great goal, the Casper API team focused on simple base-points, which are: SECURITY, TRANSPARENCY, AFFORDABILITY. To achieve these goals, the platform was designed under the framework of Blockchain technology and smart contracts.

Casper API: Technology

In the technical aspect, Casper API, when making all its architecture in Blockchain technology, presents us with the following aspects, which are the basis for the operation of the platform:

SMART CONTRACTS

Casper API's intelligent contract stores a record of service providers, connects providers to users and performs billing procedures. The intelligent contract regulates the storage network and supervises the work of suppliers.

P2P ARCHITECTURE

Reliability: All network participants connect to each other relying on large nodes such as servers, which allows greater resistance to DDoS attacks.

Participants in the P2P network have no geographical boundaries. Therefore, users can receive their data from the nearest provider to increase their upload and download speed.

Accessibility of data. Several copies of a file are stored by different providers allows you to download data even if one of the providers is down.

PRIVATE CHANNEL "Lightning Network"

To ensure confidentiality, data operations can be performed through a private cryptographic channel between a client and a provider. The cryptographic protocol will be similar to Bitcoin's Lightning Network. This protocol makes Casper API suitable for use in DApps at the corporate level.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT (SDK)

Casper API provides SDKs for integration, allowing application developers to access their data within the Casper API infrastructure.

The use of intelligent contracts that facilitate interaction between customers and suppliers; P2P architecture to increase network reliability; private channels for transactions using Lightning Network technology that provides confidentiality in working with data. A software development kit (SDK) is also provided that allows you to integrate any application, including DApps, into the platform quickly and easily.

Casper API: Services

STORAGE OF DATA

The main service offered is decentralized data storage, which includes uploading, downloading, editing, deleting, managing access permissions, randomly reading files, modifying non-encrypted data without replacing them, as well as the ability to mount virtual storage as an external drive. The decentralised data storage system reduces potential delays and increases accessibility, which means that all data is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

BACKUP STORAGE

Casper API offers a special backup of data storage plans that allow for a cheaper service if your data is accessed on rare occasions. In order to ensure a higher level of security for your backups, we offer to store another copy of your files in partner data centers and other major vendors that are prepared to take responsibility for the security of your data.

CONTENT DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

The loading time of your website is fast within a target region. Thanks to the decentralized architecture, Casper API is able to provide fast file downloads and website uploads, as well as increase the stability of your website, even under high loads. Thanks to the Casper API you can choose from provider networks in your target regions.

Casper API: Token & ICO

The CST Token Lease is a very important financial instrument for the Casper API business model. The free circulation of CST tokens on stock exchanges can lead to a sharp increase in the price of the token. This makes it difficult to purchase CST tokens and therefore difficult to develop the service. Leasing remains attractive even if market prices are high. The holder of the token rents them and thus approaches the point of equilibrium. This system is cost-effective and transparent for both the card holder and the lessee.
