M O D U L A R Monday is back. What is the data availability module in DePIN projects? It's like a temporary storage locker for DePIN data. šŸ„” This module is crucial in the data flow of DePINs, ensuring data is efficiently accessible when needed. Data can come from anywhere ā€“ on-chain or off-chain (devices). šŸ“± Once its time is up, the data is either deleted or sent to long-term storage. šŸ“¦ DePIN projects can even choose to commit this data to the blockchain from time to time for extra security. The past few years have seen a surge in data availability projects using various approaches: - Existing blockchains (like EIP-4844 for @ethereum or @NEARProtocol DA) - Separate blockchains (like @CelestiaOrg or @0xPolygon Avail) - Decentralized storage networks (like @textileio) - Restaking-based systems (like @eigen_da)
