Description
Jackal Protocol provides decentralized, geo-distributed storage infrastructure for blockchains, allowing any chain to integrate scalable, web-scale storage through a simple smart contract call over IBC. Data is stored redundantly across multiple jurisdictions with threefold replication, and the blockchain automatically re-clones data if a copy goes offline, ensuring resilience against localized disasters and outages. Users can purchase self-custodial cloud storage plans of varying lengths directly from the blockchain, with standardized pricing set by decentralized protocol governance. The protocol positions itself as an open-source alternative to 'Big Cloud' providers, emphasizing data ownership, censorship resistance, and privacy. Its ecosystem includes products such as Outpost, Vault, Enterprise, and Pin, and it serves developers and decentralized apps across various blockchains seeking secure, disaster-proof storage.
