A secure and high-performance decentralized storage network for everyone
Welcome to 0Chain! This page will make you familiar with 0Chain docs. Although the docs will be explained extensively in their related sections but here is a short overview.
0Chain is a blockchain based high-performance decentralized storage network that offers privacy, GDPR compliance, tokenization, and security features for mission-critical applications.
0Chain provides an easy-to-scale infrastructure through Miners, Sharders, and Blobbers that perform several duties necessary for functional blockchain and storage systems.
Miners
Miners build, verify, notarize, and finalize blocks based on consensus. Miners need to store wallet and smart contract states on their ledger to ensure submitted transactions are executed correctly.
Sharders
Sharder store blocks, keep records of View Changes through magic blocks and respond to queries from users. Anyone joining the network queries the Sharders to determine the active members of the blockchain.
Blobbers
They store data of any size and provide a single source of truth for that data.
