Background

Streamr Network

On the Streamr Network, DATA is staked and exchanged for reliable bandwidth. This bandwidth market is brokered through stream Sponsorships. Sponsorships are smart contracts that connect off-chain data streaming with on-chain DATA token incentives. The result is a decentralized live CDN, capable of outperforming the Web2 giants on cost, reliability and speed.

Digital Privacy at a Crossroads: Corporate Farms vs Independent Nodes

Thu 27th Mar 2025
Data privacy faces a critical decision point in 2025. Users must choose between two paths for their data flow: - **Corporate Farms**: Centralized systems that monitor and monetize user data - **Streamr Network**: Independent nodes offering equal speed without central control Streamr's system features: - End-to-end encryption by default - Keys never stored on central servers - Strategic key rotation preventing historical data access - True access revocation without backdoors The decentralized architecture provides a fundamentally different security model compared to traditional data harvesting systems.

Streamr Enhances Data Privacy with End-to-End Encryption

Thu 20th Mar 2025
Streamr has implemented comprehensive privacy features for data streams with end-to-end encryption by default. Key security features include: - Encryption keys never stored on central servers - Strategic key rotation prevents access to historical data - Permanent access revocation with no backdoors - Cryptographic signing chain prevents tampering - Peer-to-peer architecture with no central directory The platform's decentralized infrastructure creates a fundamentally different security model compared to traditional centralized systems where data is routinely harvested. This architecture supports censorship resistance while maintaining high performance at scale.
