Data security guarantee

Qubitic leverages a combination of InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and Merkle Trees to create a decentralized, efficient, and highly scalable data storage solution. These technologies work together to optimize both the way data is stored and how it can be accessed.

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System)

IPFS is a decentralized file storage protocol that allows data to be stored off-chain, reducing the strain on the blockchain itself. Instead of storing large files directly on the blockchain—which would be inefficient and slow—Qubitic stores data on IPFS, where it is distributed across a global network of nodes. Each file stored on IPFS is given a unique hash (a cryptographic identifier) that allows it to be retrieved efficiently from the network. This reduces the on-chain storage requirements and speeds up data retrieval times.By using IPFS, Qubitic ensures that data remains accessible in a decentralized manner without relying on centralized servers or storage providers. This enables dApps to access and share large datasets in real-time, such as media files, documents, or user-generated content, while maintaining the integrity and security inherent in decentralized networks.

Merkle Trees

Merkle Trees are cryptographic structures used to efficiently verify the integrity of data. In the context of Qubitic, Merkle Trees ensure that data stored on the blockchain or accessed via IPFS is tamper-proof and consistent. Merkle Trees allow large datasets to be represented as a tree of smaller cryptographic hashes, where each leaf node contains a hash of a data block. The root node of the tree provides a single hash that represents the entire dataset.This method allows for efficient verification of data without the need to access the entire dataset. When a user requests a specific piece of data from Qubitic, the network can quickly verify its authenticity by checking the hash in the Merkle Tree, ensuring that the data has not been altered. This system reduces the need for complex data validation processes, increasing both the speed and security of data retrieval.

Efficient Data Retrieval

Qubitic’s integration of IPFS and Merkle Trees ensures that data can be retrieved efficiently and with minimal latency, even as the blockchain scales. When a user interacts with a dApp on Qubitic, data is accessed from IPFS and verified through Merkle Trees, allowing for rapid and secure retrieval. Because IPFS distributes data across a decentralized network, it eliminates the risk of single points of failure, ensuring that data is always available and accessible, even if some nodes go offline.This distributed nature of storage means that data access is not only faster but also more reliable. Qubitic’s system is designed to scale seamlessly, with the ability to handle massive amounts of data as the network grows, without sacrificing performance or introducing significant delays.
