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
