Technical Revelation: How does Irys ensure that your data is both secure and affordable?

In decentralized storage networks, the biggest challenge is how to ensure data is absolutely secure while also making prices affordable. This sounds like an impossible task, but Irys cleverly achieves this balance through two core "magic weapons."

Treasure 1: Double Insurance Mechanism

Irys creatively combines two classic security approaches.

· First layer of insurance: Workload check. The Irys network will regularly require miners storing data to "clock in" and complete specific computational tasks to prove that they are indeed on duty and properly safeguarding the data. This ensures the network's activity and fundamental security.
· Second layer of insurance: Margin system. Just "checking in" is not enough; miners must first pay a hefty "integrity deposit" before starting work. This is akin to signing a legally binding contract; if a miner is found to have lost your data or engaged in fraudulent behavior, their deposit will be automatically confiscated by the network. This direct economic penalty makes the cost of wrongdoing extremely high, fundamentally constraining miners to be honest and trustworthy.

Artifact Two: Exclusive ID Card

In traditional storage networks, a common vulnerability is that a miner may only store one copy of data, but he falsely claims to multiple users that he has stored multiple copies, in order to deceive them into paying for multiple rewards. This is like selling one apple while pretending to sell a basket of apples.

Irys's "Matrix Packing" technology has completely solved this problem. It deeply "stamps" each miner's unique identity information (similar to their fingerprint) onto the data copies they store through complex calculations at the time of data storage. This way, each data copy possesses a unique, unforgeable "exclusive ID card."

The system can easily identify who is pretending to be someone else by checking this "ID card." This ensures that every piece of your data has concrete and multiple independent backups in the network. As a result, security is greatly enhanced, and overall storage efficiency is higher, ultimately leading to a significant reduction in costs.
