Developers now have the option to store their data permanently.
KYVE, an initiative that stores data streams with built-in validation, is expanding to Avalanche. This integration will allow developers to access and query on-chain data.
This integration, already on testnet and launching on mainnet in the upcoming months, will allow the Avalanche developer community to leverage KYVE’s extra layer of storage, and to store its data reliably and permanently. KYVE supports multiple blockchain architectures, making inter-chain computation easier.
How the integration works
KYVE bridges data from all three Avalanche blockchains running on the Primary Network (X, C, and P) and archives both blocks and transactions permanently and immutably on Arweave. Staked validators then ensure that this archived data is correct. If uploaded data is incorrect, the stake of the uploader gets slashed.
How the Avalanche development teams benefit from this integration:
How KYVE works
KYVE’s network is powered by decentralized uploaders and validators. These nodes reside in pools, each pool focuses on archiving a specific data stream. Each pool is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and is funded with KYVE tokens.
By staking and slashing KYVE tokens, the system ensures participants behave in harmony with the pools’ objectives, punishing misbehavior and rewarding valid entries. Uploaders and validators secure the validity of the data inside each pool:
The nodes are incentivized by a unique staking system, which involves them locking their KYVE tokens while being active in the pool.
