Hi,
I'd like to propose a design for distributed storage and messaging with
escrow/economic incentivization leveraging LNP/BP ecosystem and working at
Layer 2 and 3. It is described in details here:
https://github.com/storm-org/storm-spec [1]
Briefly, it allows to construct special type of payment channels guaranteeing
remote data storage and retrieval with counterparty risks mitigated by economic
stimulus (stakes etc). Next, it can be combined with Lightning Network, i.e.
operate completely off-chain ("Storm with Lightning" :).
This proposal came as a side-effect of our joint work on RGB and single-use
seals technologies (recently mentioned by Peter Todd here [2]). In the nearest
future I will be busy with finalizing and implementing these protocols, but
don't want this idea to be missed/forgotten, since it can be very useful for
other L2/L3 technologies requiring client-stored data, like guaranteeing
external storage of script data for Taproot, scriptless scripts or Prometheus
(technology for scalable computing [3]). So I'd welcome any possible comments,
critics, or interest in driving Storm development forward.
