Subspace Network is a massively scalable infrastructure for Web3 that will empower and connect other blockchain ecosystems. Core use cases will include data availability for rollups on Ethereum (to start with), archival storage for all layer ones, and trustless cross-chain bridging to enable a true multi-chain future.
Applications on any blockchain ecosystem can leverage the Subspace Network to connect to other ecosystems without migrating their current implementations.
Under the hood, Subspace Network is a modular layer one blockchain that can unlock massive horizontal scaling thanks to its decoupled execution. It means each additional node will increase the storage capacity and throughput of the network. It also aims to be one of the most decentralized networks by leveraging its novel PoC consensus model, known as Proof-of-Archival-Storage (PoAS), which allows anyone with a computer to join as a farmer and contribute to the network without any additional capital investment or token staking. In our current incentivized testnet, Gemini II, we have over 25,000 community-run nodes worldwide.
Subspace Labs, the core contributors, envisions a unified cross-chain Web3 experience powered by the Subspace Network, just like how the web browser did it for the internet back then. The Subspace Labs team hails experience from Dapper Labs/Flow, GitHub, Coinbase, Restream, Protocol Labs, Stanford, and more.
