Why Choose Bethel?
zk proofs enable users to authenticate themselves and gain access to their stored data without revealing their credentials or sensitive access information. It is also used to verify a user's permissions for accessing data in a secure and private manner.
Bethel uses an offchain prover to handle complex computations and generate zk proofs. This reduces the computational load on the main blockchain network. By off-loading data verification to Off-chain systems, Bethel minimizes the amount of data stored and processed on the blockchain, addressing scalability issues.
The On-chain verification smart contract on the blockchain verifies the zk proofs submitted by the offchain prover, ensuring the integrity of the offchain computations. The blockchain maintains an immutable record of these verifications, enhancing trust and security.
zk proofs can ensure that once data is stored or an action is taken, it cannot be altered without detection, maintaining data integrity.
Using zk proofs, Bethel can comply with various data protection regulations, as it inherently respects user privacy by not exposing actual data during verification processes.
Despite the complex underlying technology, Bethel offers a user-friendly interface, allowing users to easily manage their storage needs without needing to understand the intricacies of zk proofs.
In Bethel zkpStorage, metadata is crucial for transparency, security, and immutability. Files are divided into chunks and hashed for unique identification. Metadata includes file details and permissions, stored on-chain for an immutable record. Smart contracts manage access, ensuring only authorized retrievals. This approach ensures tamper-proof metadata, verifiable file integrity, and maintained data privacy through Zero-Knowledge Proofs (zkp). Integrating DePIN, Bethel zkStorage offers a secure, scalable, and user-friendly solution for decentralized storage with real-world applications.
