For a long time now, the blockchain ecosystem has been aware of the need for Web3 native storage solutions. Blockchain technology is unprecedented for keeping a decentralised record of valuable information, like transactions and balances, but there are applications in the space with higher storage n…

With crust , polkadot already has a storage parachain. How does the system parachain relate to crust?

My thought as well. Although it wouldn´t hurt to have multiple approaches at least in the beginning to see what the best approach would be.

What does this solution provide that Crust Network does not?

Indeed, and thank you for bringing that up!There are a few key differences: For starters, this would be a System Parachain. Therefore, DOT is used as native token and there is no CRU or similar. In fact one of the ideas here is to provide another demand driver or use-case for DOT. It is my underst…

Hey, thanks for the question! I explain the key differences in this comment . Feel free to reply!

According to the W3F, two teams were given grants to come up with designs. The other team’s proposal looks incredibly thorough and we are excited to see the progress they make. Our approaches seem to have diverged, which we believe is good for decentralisation of development in the ecosystem!

Appears availability is not really a concern here?

@burdges you raise a good topic. If your question is whether or not the system cares about data availability, the short answer is yes, it cares. But it is a bit more complicated than that. The complication stems from the fact that since files are off-chain, it is extremely cumbersome to have trustl…
