Welcome
Welcome to Lynx - an innovative blockchain project that provides permanent, low-cost data storage.
Lynx is built on a public network of inexpensive computers, setting a new standard for sustainable blockchain technology. This comprehensive documentation will explain the key features and benefits of Lynx, with a focus on its energy efficiency and long-term data storage capabilities.
The Lynx blockchain uses a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, which is much more energy-efficient than the traditional Proof of Work used by many other blockchains. This makes Lynx an environmentally-friendly option for storing data.
In addition, Lynx is designed to keep your data accessible and secure for over 250 years. No matter what happens, you can count on your information being there when you need it.
Overall, Lynx provides a reliable, sustainable, and long-lasting solution for storing your most important data on the blockchain. Let's dive into the details of how it all works.
One of the core benefits of the Lynx blockchain is that any data stored on it can be accessed freely and permanently, both manually or through an RPC request. Once information is recorded on the Lynx network, it becomes part of the permanent digital ledger - it cannot be deleted, edited, or removed.
Lynx is designed to store up to 500GB of new data per year across its decentralized network of nodes. Read more about how this will expand. Users pay a small fee to have their data stored on the blockchain, but there are no charges or costs associated with retrieving or accessing that data in the future. Whether you need to manually download a file you stored years ago, or programmatically pull data through the Lynx API, you can do so at any time without incurring additional usage fees.
This permanent, free access to your stored data is a major advantage over traditional data storage solutions. There's no risk of your information becoming inaccessible or locked away behind paywalls down the line. Lynx ensures your data remains readily available, no matter how much time passes. You can rest assured that the critical information you store on the Lynx blockchain will be there when you need it, now and for decades to come.
