Roadmap
The LimeWire Network™ addresses these issues by launching a truly usable decentralized file storage network. Key innovations include:
- Price Competitiveness: The decentralized architecture of the LimeWire Network™ allows for a significantly more attractive pricing model compared to traditinal centralized storage providers.
- S3 Compatibility: The LimeWire Network™ supports the full AWS S3 API via a custom gateway or SDK, enabling seamless migration for existing Web2 and Web3 apps.
- No Minimum Storage Duration: Users can store files for any length of time, from seconds to months, supporting real-time use cases like anonymous file sharing.
- High Throughput Architecture: File data is stored in MinIO buckets (S3-compatible), while metadata is cryptographically signed and stored with validator nodes—off-chain but verifiable.
- Validator Layer: A decentralized quorum of nodes monitors Proof of Storage, validates actions, and enforces Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
- Zero-trust Model: A Solidity-based smart contract on BNB Chain handles API keys, user permissions, staking, and payments, unlocking full transparency for all network participants.
