Casper API
New opportunities for DApps
We want DApps to develop fast – independently from the blockchain platform. To simplify the problem of data-storage issues for their clients we created Casper API. Any DApp on any blockchain platform with a smart-contract can use our API to store data and CDN.
About Casper API
Casper API is a decentralized data storage system for DApps (decentralized applications) on any blockchain with smart-contracts. Casper API is a cross-chain solution allows creating new DApps never before possible. For example: decentralized blogging platforms (like Medium), marketplace or social media. Casper API raises the level of the blockchain ecosystem, thereby developing the blockchain market. The technologies by which the Casper API complements any blockchain with smart-contracts are decentralized p2p storage and CDN.
Imagine our nearest future, when information will not only be generated by you, but billions of IT devices: drones, self-driving cars, robots, AR/VR. All of them require an immense storage volume for information, which will cause significant demand for the service in question from both classic-style applications and DApp.
Casper API can help solve the issue of high data storage prices. After switching to a decentralized storage you can save up to 66% compared to the cloud storage giants of today. This is made possible with the help of providers putting up their hard drive capacity, both private persons and data centers can put up as little as 25.6 GB for rent and enjoy monthly rewards in CST – the system's tokens. It will help increase the reliability and security of the data stored due to decentralization. You will never lose your data and will always have access to it. By uploading your data you can be sure that you alone is the only person with the access.
Located all around the world, providers ensure the operation and security of the entire network, and the smart-contract automatically runs hourly check-ups when copies are created. Thus upon finding a disconnected provider, the system immediately copies all the data stored on his HDD, keeping the number of proper copies.
Cloud storage market looks like the most perspective out there at the moment, projected to reach $72 billion by 2020. This makes the solution put forth by Casper API all the more attractive.
Casper API: how is it a solution?
The key motto of an ICO is to encourage crowdfunding for a substantive purpose. Here, it is about creating a digital world, which is fully-functional. Cryptocoins are still being mined with the use of local computer resources and Casper API desires to increase the practice of local computers, but with an API standard. This project is mainly concentrated around developing a foundation or what can otherwise be called a virtual platform to allow developers from around the world to come and develop decentralized applications without having to deal with database storage issues.
In a nutshell, the three primary goals of Casper API are:
File transfer rate.
Data storage.
Global app development.
The creators of this project claim that Casper API has been programmed to provide encrypted data storage where no central institutions will have access to your private information. This way, the cloud computing division continues to grow and succeed. As the sector of blockchain technology becomes popular and used, their file transfer rates slow down. This happens due to sudden traffic on the network and with varied sizes of files. Here, Casper comes to make DApp development more substantive and efficient. Moreover, they are suggesting moving from localized app development practice, rather than contributing to creating a common infrastructure for all to come and be connected at the same time.

How excellent is the service provided by Casper API?
The most advance and sophisticated mechanism and ecosystem performed by this Casper API can serve some of advantages as below:
1.Convenience
Really like the Casper in old ghost children movie, the use of P2P technology serving very quick file transfer, allowing best blockchain considering speed and cost, as above said also the ability to easily switching between blockchain, blockchain interchangeability for content sharing, easy to estimate the cost based on users.
2.Security
Implementation of algorithm Zk-Snark is allowing files distributed in several providers while just the user who can access the whole part of file distributed in all stored provider. Therefore, none can access the file and know the file content exactly as just the user who can. This advantage is really keeping the file content be always safe from opening, viewing moreover editing by people or parties who is unauthorized. In other word, can be said it is impossible to open, view moreover edit the file content which is under Casper API implementation. To be more easily understood, it can be imagined this advantage as if we store a table by disassembling it first then tagging each part to be stored in different rented warehouse and fully covered in a package. None knows the content of the package, it is only the table owner.
3.Reliability
This service can satisfy all the user, no worries for failure at all as the safety is fully guaranteed. All parts of distributed files managed under smart contract are replicated and stored in minimum of 4 place, they are always checked for failure and re-stored with other provider if there is found failure. As above analogy of a table storage, this advantage can be imagined also for re-creating each part with precisely same with the original into minimum 4 units. Then each part are distributed into several warehouse and always to be checked by smart contract whether the parts and also the warehouse is still good or not. If the part is damage, then smart contract will re-create it and if the warehouse is damage then smart contract will find another warehouse to store the part. Then if anytime the owner need to use the table unit then it will be easily re-assembled.
Those above as a glance are a few sample features and advantages by using Casper API, in just quick reading can be understood this system to be useful for Decentralized Applications (DApps) or other which needs to store their big data conveniently, securely and in reliable way.
