[ANN]LunarX--Universal Middleware for DApps

[neo.carmack]

LunarX is a middleware designed to enable distributed data service. It provides a bunch of fundamental protocols that defines infrastructural services which are necessarily supporting the future value network. With its support, DApp can have each node in the network provides services to each other no matter where they are, storing encrypted data, responding to data requests, while earning tokens at the same time. By skipping data centers, LunarX significantly reduces the cost of service.



It is a matrix, peer-to-peer network, and bridge.

As a globally sparse and locally dense matrix, LunarX uses this structure to manage the underlying data chain, providing services going beyond storing files like existing solutions. It can store structured data and perform data computation tasks to support information retrieval, structural data analysis, stream media publishing, content delivery, CDN, and more. It also has robust data self-recovery functionality through erasure coding, therefore protecting data from out-of-service nodes or malicious hackers.

As a peer-to-peer network, LunarX enables every node to provide data chain functionality to clients as a part of the whole data service system. Each node can voluntarily contribute to a useful work to earn tokens as return.

As a bridge, LunarX provides a set of standardized fundamental protocols to enable DApps to interact with blockchain and the underlying hardware. LunarX provides abstractions that free DApp developers from knowing the exact implementations of data services in a peer- to-peer network while maintaining transparency.

Now LunarX is listed on Bitforex, one of the top exchanges in the world.

As an universal middleware, LunarX is designed to build a decentralized, scalable, temper proof, anonymous and autonomous data chain infrastructure for decentralized applications(DApp) and their users.

It knits individual nodes together, serving upper layer applications with uniform data chain functionality, and every peer joining the LunarX network becomes a part of the whole data service system.

In real world businesses, not all the data is transactional that has to be put into a blockchain, but these great amount of data still requires properties of anonymous, autonomous, temper proof, scalability and traceability, in an untrusted peer to peer network.

Some of these data is structured, other is unstructured. We propose an algebraic definition of commutative map to study these data structures within a uniform framework, and to see when given a data structure, which kind of encryption schemes are commutative with it, and how to construct a possible scheme. In order to manage these data structures and generate blocks, we developed DAG model for these purposes.

Section 1. Introduction

Centralized online platforms provide convenient tools for users to access information and services from anywhere and anytime. These platforms normally manage big data centers, driven by variant database systems, from simple embedded k-v modules, to structured relational db systems, and new-sql big data clusters.
But the greater concern in long term is privacy. These platforms not only have all the knowledge of their users' data, but also share users' identities and user's characteristics. Users have no way but to TRUST these platforms that their data and identities are safe.
On the other hand, end users eventually pay for the high cost of these data centers.

In contrast to centralized platforms, decentralized applications(DApp for short) do not own users' data, users themselves do. cryptographic currency\cite{Bitcoin} and blockchain\cite{Blockchain} technology solved the transaction part of data exchange. In fact, it is a data structure that chains blocks, and with each block, there are predefined fields used in recording properties of transactions, preventing "double spent" or other malicious actions on an account.

Transactional consistency is essential, but from a global perspective, only a little proportion of data is transactional. Other data has weaker requirement of globally consistency, but still requires a model with properties of secure, temper proof, anonymous, autonomous and traceability. It is a much more general and scalable data model for decentralized applications in describing the real world businesses.

This model is not as strict as transaction model. It is a distributed table that records users’ activities as rows, and does not collecte user data inside a data center, but distribute to possible peers joining in the network. Each individual user can only access his own data entries in the whole table, and these entries may be stored in multiple remote peers.

In addition, columns need to be scalable(vertical scalability), since new services may be developed in the future. Although the total data may be thousands of Tera bytes, the overhead is balanced, since every participant, including the applications' providers will only store and compute the part that they have been authorized to access. The data model is highly localized, like a huge sparse but locally dense matrix covering the world.

This is the reason why we also call LunarX a World Wide Table. This distributed table design is a middleware that knits individual nodes together, serving upper layer applications with uniform data chain functionality.

There are several supporting techniques helping us to build the network: distributed hash table, symmetric/asymmetric/homoporphic/non-homomorphic cryptography, consistent hash, merkle tree/DAG, proof of storage and its variants, Reed-Solomon erasure coding, and some other peer to peer techniques.
