Storage Provider Economics
BNB Greenfield's storage ecosystem operates on a sophisticated economic model that balances user needs with provider incentives. At its core, every client interacts with the system through:
- Client ID: A unique identifier tied to all user data
- Payment Accounts: Sub-accounts handling financial transactions
The system implements three primary fee structures:
- Transaction Fees: Paid for chain operations (create/delete objects, permissions changes, cross-chain calls)
Data Storage Fees: Calculated via the "Stream Pay Model" based on:
- Storage duration
- Data volume
- Bandwidth Package Fees: Applied when exceeding free download quotas
Key participants in this economy include:
- Validators
- Primary Storage Providers (PSPs)
- Secondary Storage Providers (SSPs)
The Data Upload Process
Clients engage with BNB Greenfield through a streamlined workflow:
- Account Creation: Generate cryptographic key pairs
Data Upload:
- Select a PSP
Initiate two-phase process:
- Request Phase: Lock fees on-chain
- Seal Phase: Finalize data storage
- Stream Pay Integration: Automated billing via p2p networks
