Decentralized object storage that seamlessly slots into place, replacing centralized solutions, is still hard to come by. MinIO (https://min.io/), a high-performance and S3-compatible object storage, is already an established standard available on every public cloud, every Kubernetes distribution, private cloud, and the edge.

By activating the storage of Acurast’s (https://acurast.com/) worldwide decentralized Cloud combined with MinIO, not only can Polkadot-native projects leverage true decentralized storage, but enterprises are also enabled to simply switch from their existing setup to a decentralized one.

Context of the Proposal

The main goal is to build out the MVP integration for MinIO to be run in Acurast’s decentralized compute environment and making it accessible to developers.

• MVP integration of MinIO object storage in Acurast’s decentralized compute environment
• Creation of storage buckets and configurable access control
• Configuration and development in making MinIO exposable through Acurast native P2P layer
• Benchmarking of required replications and estimated costs per GB storage on Acurast’s network
• Testing and detailed developer documentation with detailed developer examples of how to access MinIO in Acurast’s compute environment

About Acurast

Acurast is the first decentralized verifiable compute network powered by phones.

Acurast is redefining compute by utilizing billions of smartphones – no data centers required. This verifiable, scalable, and confidential compute network enables users to run secure applications on decentralized infrastructure at scale—without compromising speed or privacy.

By leveraging these phones with their Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) in combination of a Polkadot-powered blockchain, Acurast is perfectly suited for running mission critical workloads with high-security requirements. With over 50,000+ phones onboarded worldwide on its incentivized testnet on Kusama with over 200M transactions processed.
