Asset Vault

Alliance AssetVault is a decentralized storage solution designed specifically for gaming assets. It offers infinite scalability, allowing developers to store and manage petabytes of game assets effortlessly. With lightning-fast access through a globally distributed network, intelligent version control, and AI-powered compression algorithms, AssetVault optimizes asset management for game developers. It enables seamless asset sharing, dynamic asset streaming, and efficient integration with in-game marketplaces.

At the moment, most player game data is stored in centralized databases maintained by gaming studios. This data includes player levels, owned assets, unlocked content, and others. When a gaming studio stops maintaining or deletes the database, all player history is lost.

As blockchain technology gains traction in the gaming industry, asset tokenization is becoming more common, allowing players to truly own their gaming assets on-chain. From CryptoKitties to Axie Infinity, players can own in-game assets as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and trade them freely across external marketplaces. However, the value of these assets often depends on the game's continued operation. If Axie Infinity ceases to operate, the NFTs lose their gaming value. Additionally, aside from tokenized assets, all other game-related data remains in centralized databases.

Alliance Games addresses this issue by building a network of permissionless data storage nodes run by the community. By utilizing idle storage space or decentralized storage networks like Filecoin and Arweave, users can become data hosting nodes. When gaming events are updated in the centralized database, these storage nodes subscribe to the events and store the data, ensuring the preservation and decentralization of game data.

Data privacy and security are top priorities for Alliance Games in their decentralized game data hosting network. To ensure privacy, end-to-end encryption is enforced; data is encrypted on the client side before being uploaded and remains encrypted during transmission. For games requiring higher privacy levels, Alliance Games provides tools to generate zero-knowledge proofs and perform proof verification.

To ensure data security, Alliance Games distributes and replicates data shards across multiple nodes. This redundancy allows data reconstruction even if some nodes go offline or are compromised. Verifier nodes periodically monitor the status of other nodes and cross-verify their work to maintain integrity.

For node providers, the process is automated and encapsulated in a Docker container that can run on local machines or cloud servers, simplifying participation in the network.
