Data Storage Layer

The Game Terminal Data Vault (GTDV) serves as the backbone of the platform's data storage architecture, providing users with flexible, secure, and modular storage solutions. The GTDV operates on top of a decentralized verification framework, ensuring data integrity through multiple layers of validation and consensus, while offering tailored storage options to balance cost, performance, and security.

Modular Data Storage - GTDV Framework

The GTDV Framework is a multi-tiered storage system built on top of advanced data protocols, ensuring that data is not only stored but continuously verified for accuracy. Utilizing Active Validation Services (AVS), the framework enables dynamic validation of stored data, ensuring consistency and reliability across all layers. The storage tiers are segmented to cater to different user needs:

• Economy Tier: Optimized for low-cost storage with basic validation layers, ideal for non-critical data.

• Reliability Tier: Designed for high-priority data requiring stronger consensus and persistence, ensuring greater resilience against data loss or corruption.

By using EigenLayer-based architecture, the GTDV Framework guarantees a balanced approach between cost-efficiency and data persistence, offering users flexibility in how their data is managed and validated.

Decentralized Storage Solutions

Users have the ability to store their encrypted data in decentralized environments, enabling full control over the data's availability and access. The Game Terminal Execution Layer (GTEL) is currently integrated with Greenfield for decentralized storage, and it plans to expand its support to additional blockchain-based storage solutions in the near future. This decentralized storage option provides enhanced security and redundancy, ensuring data availability without reliance on centralized infrastructure.

Centralized Storage Options

For users who prioritize cost over decentralization, centralized storage options are also available. Despite its cost-effectiveness, centralized storage, such as AWS S3, may not offer the same level of data availability and redundancy as decentralized options. The GTEL supports full integration with AWS S3 for seamless data retrieval and storage, with plans to extend support to additional centralized providers as required. Centralized storage remains a viable option for users looking for an economical solution without sacrificing encryption security.

Local Storage & Flexibility

Game Terminal provides the flexibility to store encrypted data on local or self-hosted solutions, giving users direct control over data management. This option ensures that data can be stored in a secure and private environment, with the GTDV system offering seamless integration for data retrieval and validation across local storage options.

By offering a spectrum of storage solutions—ranging from decentralized, cost-efficient options to high-reliability centralized solutions—the Game Terminal Data Vault provides users with unparalleled control over their data, ensuring both flexibility and security in a Web3 environment.
