How It Works
Zero-knowledge from upload to retrieval — in 4 steps
Upload & Encrypt
You enter a passphrase. Your browser derives an AES-256-GCM key via PBKDF2 (100K iterations) and encrypts the file locally. The server never sees plaintext.
Fragment with Erasure Coding
The encrypted blob is split into 6 fragments using Reed-Solomon 4-of-6 coding. Any 4 fragments can reconstruct the file — it survives 2 device failures.g.
Distribute to Phones
Fragments are assigned to 6 different host phones based on trust scores. Devices poll the server every 30 seconds and download their assigned fragments.
Verify & Protect
SHA-256 integrity checks at 7 checkpoints. Proof of Storage challenges verify hosts still hold data. Hash-chained audit trail logs everything immutably.
Zero-Knowledge Guarantee
The platform operator with full database access cannot decrypt any user file. If you lose both your passphrase and recovery phrase, your files become permanently unrecoverable.

Rewards are based on: Your device’s availability, Network uptime, The type of data, your device supports,
Overall network growth
You participate by allocating a small, fixed portion of unused storage on your device
Data is securely fragmented and encrypted before being distributed across the network
No single device ever holds complete or readable data
Enterprises pay Data Horse for decentralized storage services
A portion of the value created is shared with participants as rewards
No trading. No speculation. Just infrastructure participation.
