What is STORE (the protocol)?
STORE is a zero-fee public blockchain that allows developers to build on the STORE Cloud - a decentralized network of data centers and edges - using $STORE as its base currency. It's like Amazon Web Services™ but decentralized.
It is a proof-of-stake and governance protocol at the intersection of cloud and crypto. Features of the protocol are as follows:
Consensus Information

Governance Information
- Decentralized separation of powers (e.g. splitting treasury decisions vs protocol upgrade decisions)
- Decentralized checks and balances (e.g. processes for submitting & approving proposals)
- Off-chain coordination + on-chain voting
- Democratic voting (1 entity 1 vote)
- Final vote is legally binding
Technology Information
- BlockfinBFT - Leaderless, asynchronous, byzantine-fault-tolerant consensus algorithm
- Smart Contracts - Rust (e.g. Move by LibraBFT)
- Container / VM - SSVM
