MUD Distributed Storage System (MDN)

Architecture and Node Economy

• Three-layer node architecture:

- Validator nodes for consensus and data verification - Storage nodes for scalable cold/hot storage - Acceleration nodes for edge computing and distribution

• Hardware Support:

- Home-use low-power nodes - Datacenter-grade storage arrays - Global edge acceleration devices

• Redundancy: Reed-Solomon erasure coding tolerates 30% node failure

• Proofs: Combines Proof of Space-Time (PoST) and Proof of Replication (PoRep)

• Incentives:

- Storage mining rewards - Usage-based storage fees - Content creator subsidies

Entertainment and Creator Economy Layer

• Media Support: 4K/8K video, games, AR/VR, audio-visual content

• Creator Monetization:

- On-chain IP registration - Smart contract-based revenue splits - Fan token issuance and engagement - Transparent remix licensing

• UX Enhancements:

- AI-driven content recommendation - Global low-latency access - Adaptive caching based on content popularity - Mobile-first performance tuning

• Developer Tools:

- SDKs and toolkits for content publishing - Plugin ecosystem for extended features
