Distributed Preservation MULTI-PROVIDER DePIN

1.1 Overview

Distributed Preservation solves the Blockchain Storage Paradox by decoupling chain authority from decentralized physical storage networks. Rather than relying on a single centralized cloud provider or an expensive monolithic ledger, RelayStream coordinates multi-provider storage strategies across decentralized infrastructure.

1.2 Multi-Provider Storage Tiers
Storj (Hot Caching)
Active caching layer utilizing Reed-Solomon erasure coding for zero-jitter parallel retrieval.
Sia Network (Media Hosting)
Operator-controlled 4K media hosting with on-chain contract renewals via wSC swaps.
Filecoin (Cold Archival)
Permanent cold archival storage for master video files and immutable metadata CIDs.
0G Protocol (Data Availability)
High-speed data availability layer indexing video chunks in-flight for sub-500ms routing.
1.3 Preservation Verification Module
PRESERVATION_CHECK.TSTypeScript
import { PreservationClient } from '@relaystream/storage';

const storage = new PreservationClient({
  providers: ['Storj', 'Sia', 'Filecoin'],
  redundancyLevel: 'high'
});

async function auditAssetStorage(assetId: string) {
  const healthReport = await storage.verifyCIDs(assetId);
  console.log(`Preservation Status: ${healthReport.status}`);
  console.log(`Active Replicas Verified: ${healthReport.replicaCount}`);
}

auditAssetStorage('relaystream.media.001');
