Data Upload and Data Upload and Verification
Decentralized Data Storage & Validation
When users upload data to the platform, the first step is ensuring its integrity and authenticity. DataSci utilizes smart contracts and blockchain-based validation to guarantee that the data is not tampered with, ensuring the integrity of the research process.
Smart Contracts: Once data is uploaded, it is passed through a smart contract that performs a verification check, generating a cryptographic hash to create an immutable record on the blockchain. This ensures the data cannot be altered or deleted without detection.
Data Provenance: The uploaded data’s provenance (i.e., its origin and version history) is recorded on the blockchain, giving every data entry a verifiable trail that proves its authenticity. Researchers, data scientists, and developers can track and trace the source of the data they are working with, reducing issues related to plagiarism or false claims.
Decentralized Storage (IPFS): DataSci utilizes the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for decentralized storage. IPFS distributes data across a network of nodes, ensuring that it is secure, resilient, and available even if certain nodes go offline. This removes the single points of failure associated with centralized storage systems, ensuring better security and availability.
