Frequently asked questions

Answers to questions you might have about Flashback.

What does Flashback do?

Flashback is a decentralized cloud storage network (DePIN), created to improve how the world's most innovative AI & Web3 companies store their data. Offering rapid ‘hot’ data retrieval, low costs, and scalability with real-time application support, we are the solution of choice for companies demanding fast and frequent data access.

Who is Flashback for?

Flashback is ideal for companies demanding fast and frequent data access, 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 fast, low-cost, and highly scalable network, we help the world’s most innovative companies build transformative next-generation services with decentralised storage.

How secure is my data on Flashback?

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 centralized 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.

What is the role of FLASH tokens in the Flashback ecosystem?

FLASH tokens serve as the native cryptocurrency within the Flashback ecosystem, facilitating various functions such as payments, staking, and incentivizing participants. These tokens are used to reward validators and storage providers who contribute resources to the decentralized network. As Flashback’s storage solutions are based on blockchain technology, FLASH tokens ensure the smooth operation of decentralized services, allowing users to pay for storage and other services offered within the ecosystem.

What makes Flashback’s storage network unique?

Flashback’s storage network stands out for its ability to combine the decentralized, trustless nature of blockchain technology with optimized file storage speed and retrieval processes thanks to a unique incentive model. Unlike traditional storage systems that rely on centralized servers controlled by large corporations, Flashback’s decentralized infrastructure distributes data across numerous independent nodes. This reduces the risk of data breaches, censorship, and service outages, offering a more secure and resilient solution for storing sensitive information.

Another unique aspect of Flashback’s storage network is its incentive structure and its storage agnotism. Participants can contribute storage resources based on the speed and efficiency of their validators, addressing common challenges in decentralized storage, such as slow file transfers, while maintaining data integrity and security through cryptographic proofs.
