1. Recently, we have seen a lot of hype of IPFS, and public storage chain is frequently in the spotlight. So, Mr. Feng, what does storage public chain mean for blockchain?Or what is the value of the public storage chain?
Feng: I believe you have known about IPFS very early. As an underlying transport protocol, IPFS has the characteristics of high efficiency (obtaining file data nearby), low cost (saving bandwidth), and security (decentralized storage, which helps to prevent hacker attacks).It is essentially a distributed storage, which can turn a file into a hash value. With IPFs technology, uploaded files, videos or photos, will be broken into small files and encrypted. In the IPFS network, the hash value of the same file is unique. The blockchain only needs to store this hash value to store the entire file.
IPFS has been on the market for five years. With the iterative updating of the technology, it has been used in some business scenarios. At this time, FIL main network is about to go online, which is an excellent booster.
Moreover, the concept of distributed storage is very good and easy to implement. It can be very well combined with the development direction of future society, whether it is 5g, the Internet of things, and the new infrastructure called for by China.
Therefore, we also chose this track. The original intention of MW is to do real distributed storage. The core competitiveness of MW is the technology inclusiveness. We integrate the decentralized storage protocol and centralized storage protocol, perfectly combine the distributed storage + block chain technology, and solve the problems between the decentralized storage protocol, the supervision layer and the practicability.
2. What are the mainstream storage public chains in the industry?What is the status of MW?
Feng： Early bitcoin mining enabled many ordinary people to achieve rapid growth in wealth. However, with the upgrading of mining equipment and the increasing difficulty of mining, the track also has more choices. With the focus on FIL and the expansion of storage, the storage public chain led by FIL, including SIA and AR, is gradually recognized by everyone.
Among them, MW is called “FIL gold MW silver” by FIL community. The more internal reason is that MW has mature IPFS technology applied to actual storage. The MW project has been deeply worked on for three years, with nearly 1 million lines of core code. It has absorbed the technical experience of IPFS, Alibaba cloud OSS, Stoij and other domestic and foreign technologies, and has built an easy-to-use and usable distributed storage network by using peer-to-peer network, DHT distributed hash table, data encryption fragmentation, IPFS network protocol, multi-chain incentive mechanism block exchange and other technologies.
At the same time, we believe that blockchain + distributed storage is also the only industry that can combine mining with practice. While consuming a lot of computing resources, it can also be a commercial storage network beneficial to the society.
3. Recently, it has been learned that the global nodes of MW test network have broken through 12 thousand, and are included by Coingecko, an international famous encryption market website, which fully reflects the leading position of MW in the field of distributed storage. What unique technical advantages does MW have compared with other storage public chains?
Feng: The mirror network MW can do the following things:
1.To establish an open distributed blockchain storage network to form a multi-chain ecology with various existing networks and public chains to complete data and value transmission.
2. The spared storage resources inside the enterprise and individuals can be organized into distributed storage network. All kinds of public chains, storage networks and personal nodes can be deployed and operated.
3.Build a global distributed cloud storage compatible with IPFS, public cloud storage and private cloud storage.
Secondly, we also need to talk about our set chain structure. In the public chain part, MW is an open blockchain + distributed storage system. We will also build an alliance chain in China and build a distributed data center DDC to provide users with low-cost, secure and highly private storage services. We can also carry out a certain process for enterprises and governments in some specific fields or scenarios for supervision and audit.
Finally, we can also provide data backup, verification and query services for other public chain (open sourse chain) data.
4. Next, a question selected by members of gold rush times college, we are all curious about the background of MW, what institutions have investors participated in the investment?
Feng: in the first round of private placement conducted by MW, many influential figures in FIL community have invested in MW, including Bi Sheng capital of Jianan Yunzhi have strategic cooperation with us. However, due to the protection of investors, we can not fully disclose all of its investment portfolio at present. You can pay attention to our community announcement for relevant information.
5. We have learned that MW foundation has set up a 10 million MW fund to recruit ecological developers to encourage and support DAPP development. Can you share with us?
Feng: OK. Since its launch on April 18, 2020, the mirror world network MW public testing network has been supported by tens of thousands of fans. At present, it has been running stably for more than four months. In order to encourage more developers and technical teams to contribute to MW ecology, we will establish the first phase of “mirror network MW developer ecological incentive fund”, with a scale of 10 million MW, to encourage and support DAPP (including but not limited to browsers, gadgets, mobile wallets, storage applications, games, etc.), expand and prosper the storage ecology of MW, and make MW truly commercial.
All incentives will be publicized, and at the same time, the way of post award and batch release will be adopted. All technical teams and developers who have R & D capability and want to join MW ecology can send e-mail to info@mw.run to apply.
Up to today, we have received construction applications from several development teams, including MW mobile wallet. We will continue to carry out institutional cooperation, product research and development, landing applications, overseas development and recruitment of ecological developers. Welcome to join MW’s ecology.
6. MW have not been launched into the exchange yet. Can you briefly introduce the technical progress and future planning of MW?
Feng: due to the current market environment, we decided to adjust the MW window period to September 10 to October 10. We are ready to bring MW into the decentralized trading market, that is, cross chain asset exchange function.
At the same time, in order to increase the circulation of MW, we also issued the consultation on MW joining the DEFI (Decentralized Finance) market community.
We deploy MW to the synthetic asset MWE on Ethereum through cross chain. The constant ratio of MWE to MW is 1:100. At the same time, the coinage rules of MWE and MW are completely consistent. There is no additional issue. MWE and MW can be exchanged through the central gateway (MW chain function, lock and re coin, lock and destroy). MWE will become one of the mortgage assets of MWFI or other mining projects (for example, digging sushi or other DEFI currency with MWE).
If the community adopts the proposal, we will open the MWFI world and establish financing channels and communities for innovators in the form of DEFI.
7. Finally, there is another question to ask Mr. Feng. What are the current applications of public storage chain? What do you think of the future of public storage chain?
Feng: I think the storage itself is a big launched application. For MW, we will establish a strong foundation for data application through the distributed data center DDC built on the MW. The distributed data center DDC will use personal storage resources, public chain storage resources, and operator storage resources to build distributed city node commercial storage applications and create large-scale cold data Storage.
Now the distributed data center DDC of MW has implemented data node networking test run in Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Tianjin, Hefei and other places.
In the future, we hope that the global storage class, open-source public chain and enterprises and individuals with storage resources can join MW, and effectively bring cheaper and safer storage services to enterprises.
Community interaction:
1. If MW can solve the problem of data storage on the chain, then wouldn’t it need filecoin?
Feng: The end customer group of MW is different from that of the filecoin. The mirror world network MW will eventually complete the closed-loop in the form of DDC. The main target group will be enterprise users. Of course, for ordinary users, MW has achieved high security, privacy and permanent file storage. Now everyone can pay MW to use storage services.
2. What is the development language of MW?
Feng: The core language is: Java + Vue + Shell + Html + CSS + JS
3. Is there any expected valuation of the price after the launch of MW?
Feng: This year, the distributed storage field is a heat. As an important representative of this field, the mirror world network MW is really getting more attention. The development of MW has been positive, and we hope to move forward.
