Introduction

What is BlokHost?

BlokHost offers a user-friendly web2 interface for hosting websites and content on decentralized storage providers. With content hosted via the BlokHost platform, it is efficiently indexed and rapidly delivered through a distributed network of nodes (dCDN), ensuring exceptional performance and speed.

Problems we're solving

Decentralized storage has opened the door for a wide variety of use cases; however, its full potential has yet to be realized due to some key pain points when working with the technology:

Decentralised Storage is Hard to Use

Any developer venturing into Web3 understands the challenges of using decentralized storage compared to S3 buckets or simple file upload APIs. Most users find this technology too complex to explore, leading to many dApps relying on centralized storage, which contradicts the decentralized objective.

Centralized CDNs Dont Cater for Web3

Centralized CDNs cater to demand where existing infrastructure is already in place. However, they typically underserve users who need it the most. Factors such as censorship, corporate governance, and the dependency on a single provider make centralized CDNs less than ideal for hosting dApps and delivering content in a decentralized world.

Decentralized Storage Providers are Slow

Many decentralized storage providers offer vast, spanning networks but struggle to deliver the speed and efficiency required to serve modern-day user requirements. These limitations can hinder the delivery of large metaverse files, digital experiences, and other high-demand content in the growing Web3 ecosystem.

Fragmented Ecosystem and Protocol Support

The multitude of decentralized storage providers offers various pros and cons depending on the use case. While this provides choice, it can be challenging to find the most optimal provider without extensive research and raises concerns about long-term support.

It provides a robust, mesh-based network structure designed to resist censorship and deliver content efficiently in traditionally underserved areas. By enabling anyone to contribute as a node, BlokHost dCDN fosters a decentralized and resilient ecosystem for content distribution.

Host To Earn

BlokHost goes beyond merely offering a speedy and dependable dCDN service; it also presents an opportunity for users to benefit financially by hosting dCDN nodes through the innovative host-to-earn model. This approach allows individuals and businesses to set up dCDN nodes on their servers and receive earnings for the bandwidth utilized by the BlokHost network.

By incentivizing participation, the host-to-earn model contributes to decentralizing the network, ensuring efficient and rapid content delivery. BlokHost's unique architecture fosters a mutually beneficial ecosystem for both users and the dCDN network.
