With DADI, users can take advantage of the blockchain for their cloud-related needs. This platform makes it possible to enjoy the security and decentralization of the blockchain and cloud services like database storage, compute power, and content delivery. The name “DADI” tells you a lot about what the platform is, as it stands for Decentralized Architecture for a Democratic Internet.
What Are the Benefits of DADI’s Decentralization?
The team behind DADI chose to make the platform decentralized for many reasons, including the ability to have the products be “always on.” With traditional networks, it is possible to target individual servers and interrupt service delivery for part of the audience. Because of DADI’s decentralized nature, this is nearly impossible to do thanks to a large number of hubs with computational power.
How Is DADI Cost Effective?
One of the strongest points of DADI is its incredible cost efficiency. Because of the decentralized nature of the system, users are able to save more than 90 percent over what they would pay with a traditional cloud server. This is ideal for any company looking to help its bottom line, particularly charities that want to focus their budget on helping others instead of overhead and for startups with limited funds.
What Should You Know About the DADI Platform?
In opposition to the current cloud services that are centralized, the DADI platform uses a fog computing structure, which is a decentralized pool made up of devices connected to the internet. This means that no single authority is in charge of regulation how the resources are distributed. A DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) organizes the fog computing of DADI, which prevents the need to pay ahead of time for monopolized or private cloud computing platforms (such as Google Cloud).
The web services offered by DADI are based on a microservices architecture to deliver multiple intelligent apps that let users build digital products. Web services power each of the digital products. Additionally, every single business can build on the DADI platform at an incredibly low price point. Users can even take advantage of DADI to make passive income via mining their computational resources.
The platform includes Ethereum Smart Contracts for a consensus system to ensure transparency. It also has Open Source PaaS technology for its function as a decentralized computing platform via Yandex/Cocaine. Docker provides an isolated environment for the security of consumer app bundles and computing parallelism. Syncthing is a peer-to-peer system that delivers secure, fast, and resilient data transfers. Finally, Zookeeper is a peer-to-peer technology that allows for distributed synchronization and node communication.
How Can You Use DADI?
There are many uses for DADI, with applications of some sort for nearly every single company. One of the main uses is content management. DADI delivers a “Create Once, Publish Everywhere” philosophy with API-first and flexible editorial interfaces. The results are securing the content’s storage for the future while allowing the rapid development of the product, reducing operating costs, and delivering a data-driven strategy.
Those who need to engage in content manipulation and distribution will also enjoy benefits. The platform makes it simple to deliver audio, video, and image files for digital products for a range of devices and contexts. This specific part of the platform, DADI CDN, works with other technology, including DADI Web Services, improving the user experience while reducing costs.
DADI’s versatility means that companies who use this platform can work seamlessly with application development for mobile devices and tablets. Because of the flexibility built into the tools, like Publish, CDN, and API, DADI is the perfect fit for ecommerce and editorial projects that need mobile and tablet compatibility.
DADI also works to manage subscription services as part of its CRM capability. You can manage flexible data walls or paywalls with the platform, accessing services and content. It will also let companies measure the access of users to their services accurately. It even assists with fine-tuning your subscription products to increase your conversion rate.
Those who need to tag and classify content can do so with DADI thanks to its unique taxonomic framework, which is incredibly accurate. This system, DADI Match, works together with Publish, and you can use it retrospectively for classifying content as a way to improve search functionality, recommendation tools, and SEO. Editors can also use it to help create content.
Companies concerned about managing relationships with their customers will appreciate DADI Identity with its “single customer view.” This gives anyone who interacts with customers the information they need at a glance in a straightforward display. The user experience in general improves with DADI since companies can use this platform to track activity then make decisions in real-time about which content will be most relevant to the users.
The many uses of DADI extend to ecommerce, where businesses can control product details and their inventory while also taking advantage of enhanced analytics. The analytics allow for optimizing to reach business targets and forensic measurement.
Of course, DADI also offers all the traditional uses of cloud services, such as big data storage that is secure. It is even able to take in third-party providers’ feeds. The full list of web services available to DADI users includes API, Publish, CDN, Web, Track, Visualize, Identity, Match, Predict, Queue, and Store.
What Is the DADI Marketplace?
The marketplace offers peer-to-peer web services that have been democratized. For consumers, these services are scalable and highly cost effective. A significant part of the cost savings comes from the easier process of development and deployment, reducing months to weeks. Miners get added value in the marketplace, with each level of miner serving a different purpose. Stargates and Gateways own network nodes and contribute bandwidth, while Hosts contribute computational power.
Plagiarism Accusations
In the time we were writing this report, some allegations of plagiarism within the DADI whitepaper came to light. These were to do with a section of the white paper which contained parts copied from the SONM white paper. This was noticed by the community and caused some controversy which prompted DADI to put out a statement on their official blog :
Everybody researches the market and the whole industry is built on a layering of concepts. Yes, the copy in section 3.6.4 of our white paper is a mistake (which has been rectified), but it’s one page out of 70 — c300 words out of 11,758. The words in dispute were left in the document from earlier research material and should have been edited out: the details provided were not representative of the current state of network development.
It was also addressed by their senior Engineer, Eduardo Boucas, in a blog post of his own where he says :
You look around to see who else is doing something that is remotely close to what you’re trying to achieve, and you look at how they’re doing it. If you find something that is good, that you respect, you’re going to lean on it, in one way or another, to produce your own work.
When you do that, however, you cite your sources and you credit the author. We didn’t. We should’ve reviewed the paper thoroughly to ensure that any scaffolding sections taken from various sources to be used as references later to be reworked and reshaped were actually reworked and reshaped. We didn’t. We dropped the ball on that one.
At first glance, this did look like a bad error in judgment and it could have put a lot of people off from participating in this ICO and warning signs like this are something you have to be aware of when evaluating an ICO to take part in. To us though, the company have addressed this well and the ICO still looks promising, hopefully this is just a small bump in the road for DADI.
Conclusion
DADI is a welcome addition to both the blockchain and the world of cloud services. Before this platform, the two had not merged, giving DADI a unique position as the leader for decentralized cloud services. The ability of DADI to offer all the services of traditional clouds with improved efficiency and heavy discounts, along with other improvements, is bound to make a positive impact on the industry and set a new standard.
