Answers to questions you might have about Flashback.
Flashback offers decentralized data storage on a multi-cloud platform to improve how the world's most innovative AI & Web3 companies store their data. Leveraging agentic AI and blockchain technology, we make it cheaper, simpler, and more flexible for companies to store large datasets.
Flashback is ideal for companies requiring a combination of fast, frequent data access and archival, including AI applications, gaming projects, and DeFi protocols. For instance, AI applications can leverage Flashback’s decentralized storage for training datasets, while Web3 gaming platforms can use it to store and manage game assets and player data. With our flexible, low-cost, and highly scalable network, we help the world’s most innovative companies build transformative next-generation services with decentralized storage.
Flashback enhances data compliance and security by using blockchain technology to create a transparent, immutable record of all storage transactions and activities. Every action on the network, from storing data to transferring tokens, is recorded on the blockchain, ensuring that data handling practices are fully traceable and auditable.
Flashback’s decentralized architecture makes it significantly more resilient to cyberattacks compared to traditional storage providers. Data is stored across multiple nodes, preventing single points of failure and reducing the risk of breaches or unauthorized access. Additionally, Flashback employs cryptographic proofs, such as proof-of-storage, to verify that storage providers are maintaining the data correctly. By combining these security measures with decentralized identities and smart contracts, Flashback ensures that data remains private, secure, and compliant with relevant regulations.
While users will have the ability to pay for platform services with both fiat and cryptocurrency, FLASH tokens will serve as the native cryptocurrency within the Flashback ecosystem, facilitating various functions such as payments, staking, and participant incentives. These tokens reward validators and storage providers who contribute resources to the decentralized network. Since Flashback’s own storage solutions are based on blockchain technology, FLASH tokens ensure the smooth operation of decentralized services, allowing users to pay for storage and other service offerings within the ecosystem.
Our platform initially incorporates some "trusted intermediary" components managed by our team to ensure a sustainable revenue model, platform stability, and smooth business operations. Over time, we will transition to an increasingly more decentralized approach, allowing us to first prioritize reliability and user experience before integrating tokenization and fully opening the protocol to the public.
