One-stop Storage Solution for NFT with Flexible Metadata Engine

Issues with NFT Storage
NFT no doubt is the hottest topic in the current decentralized world but the current storage of NFT underlying resources cannot yet be solved on the chain itself. On one hand, the cost of storage on the mainstream blockchain is extremely high. On the other hand, existing decentralized storage solutions are mostly cold-storage and cannot provide metadata-relevant storage and query solutions, resulting in low usage experience.

What is CATA?
CATA provides a complete one-stop solution for Dapp data storage. CATA creatively extends the IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) protocol to provide decentralized storage while achieving flexible metadata management, and is also compatible with SQL queries, providing extremely user-friendly and developer-friendly data access.

CATA Interaction with FLOW
CATA has designed a set of interaction protocols for Flow's Cadence contract layer, enabling integration and full traceability of token transactions and data storage, providing a one-stop solution for NFT publishing, storage, management and distribution. It is fully compatible with Cadence's resource-oriented capabilities, allowing Cadence developers to easily connect NFT contracts to storage facilities.

Core Concept

The current decentralized network is still far from true production deployment, and the scenarios that can be truly implemented today are extremely limited. The main reason for this is the lack of infrastructure. Although throughput of public blockchain increased significantly the storage protocol itself is still at an early stage. Storage solutions in the traditional world often consider both storage and retrieval, but the current mainstream of decentralized storage (such as IPFS, Filecoin) is almost pure storage, which cannot meet the requirements of data retrieval and content delivery. And some bandwidth-based data distribution projects (such as Meson Network) are also difficult to meet flexible query requirements.
CATA project begins in 2015 with goal of developing a more powerful distributed storage protocol and providing more flexible and user-friendly features for the storage system to create a more complete infrastructure forthe decentralized world.
The underlying layer of CATA is a general decentralized file system that accounts for storage and retrieval capabilities. Above the file system layer, CATA provides a flexible metadata management engine. In the current phase, CATA will leverage NFT as the first use case and collaborate with Flow Blockchain to provide users with a one-stop NFT platform.

Distributed Storage and Retrieval: as a fundamental capability of decentralized storage, data should be persistently stored on the network and ensure permanent availability. In addition, the CATA protocol guarantees high storage performance, supports reading and writing large amounts of data, and achieves practical cost. Compared to cold storage, CATA puts more design energy on retrieval and supports content-based flexible queries (instead of just file download) to meet fine-grained data organization requirements (e.g., NFT classification retrieval).

Metadata Engine: on top of the underlying decentralized file system, CATA has developed an independent metadata layer, Minerva. Minerva combines the serverless query engine with the underlying storage protocol. The CATA node is not only a storage resource provider, but also a service provider for the query engine. It is responsible for storing and querying structured metadata as well as parsing and tasking query requests. Therefore, users can flexibly define and decentrally manage structured and fine-grained metadata. At the same time, Minerva provides support for SQL queries, supports indexing, sorting, searching, and other semantics to meet the needs of Dapp developers, and minimizes dependency on centralized storage solutions.

Full lifecycle solution for NFT storage: the current NFT scenario relies on blockchain networks (e.g., Flow or ETH) to build a marketplace, and metadata storage often relies on centralized storage solutions (e.g., AWS), or content is stored on a decentralized storage protocol (e.g., IPFS) and then linked to the on-chain marketplace through additional operations, which negatively impacts the NFT user experience. The CATA storage protocol extends from the circulation layer on the blockchain, the Minerva metadata layer, to the underlying system layer, covering the business logic of NFT data storage, the associations between the on-chain and Off-chain worlds, and the entire process of token circulation. It provides a one-stop NFT experience.


CATA Distribution
The total number of CATA tokens we plan to issue is 20,000,000 for network building and community governance. And the CATA tokens are required to be distributed to the world in the following manner.
1. Mining. A portion of the tokens will be distributed  as network incentives to workers who provide hardware resources to the CATA network.
2. Ecosystem Building. A portion of the tokens will be used for ecosystem building such as incentives for qualified contributors. Also, a portion of the tokens will be set aside for subscriptions by institutions and community participants.
3. Team&Foundation Reservation: A portion of the tokens will be used to build the technical team and cover the operational costs.
4. Signup Educational Program: The purpose of the program is to spread knowledge of decentralized storage around the world, and enable more users and Dapps to experience the new manner of decentralized storage service provided by CATA .Our goal is to reach as many people and decentralized projects as possible with our educational programs before running out of funds.
5. Bitcoin Program: A portion of the tokens will be set aside to be distributed to holders of Bitcoin and Flow to build early reputation in the existing decentralized community as well as in the mainstream NFT community.


Community Ambassador Recruitment
CATA is a community driven project and offers incentives for expanding the community.
Anyone who participates in CATA community development (construction and management) and meet corresponding standards will be awarded with privilege for token sale.
They need to establish a community for management and meet corresponding standards, Community ambassadors can get the amount of early-stage community financing and participate in the early-stage construction and development of CATA. At the same time they have to contribute to CATA, build a community and manage it. The screening system should be as strict as possible.

AFAIK we have already filecoin who provide similar things. Can you tell a newbie like me how you differ with already existing projects like filecoin that are providing storage facility.

[blatchcorn]

AFAIK we have already filecoin who provide similar things. Can you tell a newbie like me how you differ with already existing projects like filecoin that are providing storage facility.

Filecoin is a file system. It is more like a cold storage facility, focusing on the storage function itself. CATA has not only built a decentralized file system protocol, but also a flexible metadata query engine on the upper layer that can support SQL. And we will continue to expand the upper layer storage facility to provide a more complete decentralized big data system.

[azadm1]

Do you have any plan to enlist on any exchnage? secondly, whats the price of CATA token right now, if I wanna buy it now.

[wtr1133]

In my view, DAPPs evolution with time may generate need for advance decentralized storage and by then we can only see how effective are such storage solutions. Those who are already in this niche will defiantly get the edge.

[anknok]

CATA has identified one shortage of NFT n proposed its solution.
Do you have any plan to launched some other features also or stick with storage only?

[blatchcorn]

CATA is still in private sale stage for now. We plan to gradually enlist on exchange after the mainnet  is launched.

[blatchcorn]

CATA has identified one shortage of NFT n proposed its solution.
Do you have any plan to launched some other features also or stick with storage only?

Actually，we are focusing on general decentralized storage solution.
NFT is the hottest topic currently and it has strong requirement of storage. That's why we plan to build the first version of CATA for NFT.

[Theones]

Is there any MVP or demo available where we can see this working in actual? Can you also offer comments on how fast one can retrieve his data using your platform?

[earnfinexofficial]

As per my understanding, this project is taking concept of Filecoin one step ahead i.e. it will easy to retrieve data from the storage since there is metadata layer available. What else do you offer apart from this feature?

Yes. By analogy, Filecoin is a file system, and we will act as a database, cache, cdn, etc. in addition to a file system.

[KngrKhna]

NFT is perhaps one of very few concepts that have received good response from community.
I have a query regarding cata, can you give an analysis of how much cost effective is data storage on this blockchain and how much benefit it gives to user.?

NFT projects are at very early stages and NFT has the potential to reach 10x. So there is no reason not to invest here. Game development will find nft based storage ideal. Since its fast n easy to access data from nft blockchain  and not to forget its low price.

[ChpCms]

Flow Blockchain has gained success in very short time and addressing both Flow and nft storage in one single project is big deal. OP you have necessary team that can develop this project? Since its a big project, development requires trained manpower.

[srhash]

Blockchain is complex and right now there is no single file system available that can meet upper layer expectations. We need more of stuff that can handle databases, data warehouses, CDNs etc. If CATA is the solution designed for this then it will be a huge success.

[jimjam1]

After going this thread I have a question, CATA is designed only to handle NFT projects or it can handle platform developed for general blockchain? Handling sql queries, indexing is very useful for eCommerce projects, can they get benefit from CATA?

[blatchcorn]

After going this thread I have a question, CATA is designed only to handle NFT projects or it can handle platform developed for general blockchain? Handling sql queries, indexing is very useful for eCommerce projects, can they get benefit from CATA?

Since NFT has strong storage and retrieval requirements, we plan to take NFT as our first target scenario, which will guide the first phase of development of CATA.
Of course there are more scenarios that will require indexing, and we will move on to the next iteration when the first phase of product is stable. General-purposed storage will also be one of our goals.

I think it will be great if you embed general-purpose storage also in CATA. Since this will allow more members to have stake in CATA, we dont know how long this summer of NFT will long. If CATA provides general storage also then it will continue to grow even if we have NFT winters.

Hi
i am interested in CATA Community Ambassador Recruitment, the reward for this program is limited to CATA tokens only or is there any other reward also in BTC, ETC, FLOW etc. Let me know if admin is reading this.

[Dron Pelya]

How long have you been working in digital or crypto industry? Because now it looks like your team very fast made project using very popular theme - NFT - for making fast money.

[chitchat]

You must also try to reach investors in person not just rely on crowd funding. This will give you a wide spectrum for attracting investors for this project. Due to too much scam in crypto industry, investors are scared of investing in new projects. But if you have a legitimate project then do approach them from different angles.

[Teraboy]

How long have you been working in digital or crypto industry? Because now it looks like your team very fast made project using very popular theme - NFT - for making fast money.

Im feeling doubt to accuse this as another money grabber or fast money for the developers.
This is not a money grabber like so many garbage projects that issued by the scammers in the market.
CATA was also working on the cloud storage for the NFT.

I thought that the team has been working on the crypto since a long time ago or have enough experience.

CATA dev, can you tell me where i can find more information about the social group of CATA. I can only find twitter and github but it's better to talk with the developers directy

Unfortunately it has become a norm to accuse a project as scam without any solid evidence. CATA is no doubt a superb project with a very strong use case. If there team can develop what they are projecting then it will be surely a moon shot.

4. Signup Educational Program: The purpose of the program is to spread knowledge of decentralized storage around the world, and enable more users and Dapps to experience the new manner of decentralized storage service provided by CATA .Our goal is to reach as many people and decentralized projects as possible with our educational programs before running out of funds.

This is a great initiative and every crypto project should spare some funds for such educational programs. New people joining the crypto world doesn't know wts the difference b/w decentralized (BTC) and centralized (XRP). Its very important to keep alive the original concept of crypto proposed by Satoshi back in 2008.

Though there are already a lot of free info from the net, still, this initiative is a very much appreciated.
This will also encourage their platform users to enrich themselves with knowledge that will give them more in-depth understanding of the topic.
Many people here even long timers don't have the full grasp of what can DAPPS do in advancing their experience in crypto industry.

This must be made mandatory for every new crypto project. The essence of crypto is decentralization, with new concepts ( meme/ deflationary / NFTs ) emerging all the time and new users joining in, if its not informed to new users the gradually people will think that anything listed on CMC is crypto.

[XinZang]

NFTs are one of most discussed thing right now in crypto market. There are many successful NFT projects also but majority of them are in there initial stages. It will take sometime before we can say that how well they really performed.
Going through this thread really educated me about NFT, I really have no idea that NFTs are facing storage issues. Lets see how well CATA cater this problem.

Action speaks louder then the words. Lets see how much they spend on educating the community about the underlying technology.
Crypto is vast field and lots of new concepts have evolved over the decade. It necessary to understand crypto, blockchain, NFT etc since that will help the users in deciding whether the project is worth investing or its just something that cant be done practically.

Of course, I would like to see here another successful project. But we all saw here very many scam projects. And a lot of us lost own money there. Crypto market is full of different scammers. So, I want to find out more information about project, before I will begin work with it.

That's very much true. Due to too many scams happening in crypto, the community is way more alert then before.
Reason why I liked this project is because they have provided a valid solution for NFT storage problem. Its something badly missing and is attainable. I will defiantly keep an eye on this project.

As per there whitepaper, "CATA Network's mission is to provide a general purpose cloud storage infrastructure for Web 3.0. The plan is to build a more complete storage system, or rather, a decentralized Big Data system, to provide more flexible, scalable, and practical data management services for upper layer of decentralized applications."

Defiantly we have to wait for a while to see this in action. Those who can take risk, may invest right now.

The usual risk in this type of project is that we need to wait if they can truly realize their mission. Right now, we have no idea if they have the capability to implement those objectives or not. Most projects have promising start up until they are already in the implementation stage. Very few can attain success when it comes to implementation. So let's see how far they can achieve in this endeavor.

You are right, we need to wait and see what they come up with. But there is draw back in waiting, once they roll out with the product price of there token will be very high. In that case only early birds can get the huge profit. That's why I was saying those who want good profit may take risk at this moment.

Well that's something interesting. As blockchain student I am well aware that NFT based projects need huge data storage and quick retrieval of data is a big plus. But can you give comparison of how fast CATA retrieval is when compared with traditional blockchains?

But CATA is different things they are into NFT business for quite sometime and as per my info there team has done many projects related to NFT. Its a big test for them since its a big project, seeing there past performance there are bright chances they will do this also.

[RankerCan]

The way NFT projects are moving forward they will need something for managing there storage and those who jump early in this category will get most of there share. Only thing we need is good solution that works for NFT projects.

This is what I extracted while going through there document section. CATA is basically designing protocols for FLOW blockchain, this is big thing as FLOW has already gathered a big market.

[pinko5]

With more and more DAPPs rolling out, there is growing demand for Dapp data storage. I personally like the idea of extending current IPFS protocol by CATA to provide decentralized storage while achieving flexible metadata management. Just waiting to see this in action.

NFTs are no doubt the most discussed topics in crypto world these days. But we cant say with certainty that they will become fundamental part of the crypto currency. But you are right in saying that NFTs will defiantly need decentralized storage that is easy to access and customizable.

[ChinkoCharlie]

AFAIK, NFTs and FLOW are both a hit thing these days. The target of CATA is both NFT and FLOW i.e to provide a decentralized storage solution for FLOW blockchain. There is lot much to be done in CATA project and there is huge audience waiting to see it coming out.

With circulation layer above metadata layer and file storage layer provides great flexibility while retrieving data.  CATA is leveraging NFT as the first use case and collaborate with Flow Blockchain to provide users with a one-stop NFT platform.

Free info is available but you cant be sure whether its authentic or not. If some real project is educating the community about crypto and blockchain its beneficial that info given is authentic. This info will help the community in seperating the fake projects with the real one. In my opinion very project must allocate some funds for such activities.

[Barkul]

Whenever any coin in crypto goes up it goes way up. If you wanna take chance in any coin then better invest in it before its officially launched on exchanges. CATA seems very solid project to me and I am keeping a close eye on it, specially on its compliance with FLOW blockchains.

The details of token sale even not exist on their whitepaper, or this is because there's no token sale for the project.
But when I judge by op post, about token distribution I see portion token for qualified contributors, I quite believe the meaning is should be going to who participated on sale.

The community ambassador program is for person that advertise CATA project to people. This program will help in bringing more people to CATA community. Building a strong community is good initiative for long run success.

Cloud computing is a great idea along with NFT. I have seen another new project called vaccine coin, where they are going to use NFT in medicine to prevent the pandemic viruses.

[langoot]

AFAIK they are building a general purpose cloud storage infrastructure for Web 3.0 that is different from current decentralized
storage solutions (e.g. Filecoin, Arweave, etc.).
Its not just a specific storage module (e.g. file system or database). Rather they are building a more complete storage system, or rather, a decentralized Big Data system, to provide more flexible, scalable, and practical data management services for upper layer of decentralized applications.

Decentralized BDS (Minerva) and Decentralized FS (IPFS) are what CATA offers as new infrastructure for decentralized data storage. Definatly its something badly required in decentralized data storage.

There are many projects that are moving to NFT and in near future we will see more and more NFT based projects. CATA has done a great job by providing solutions of problems that are very soon to be encountered.

[coinism]

NFT in very short time has gone up to the moon. It seems that this trend of NFT won't end very soon rather it will go more up in days to come. I think we need to see more details of this project like who is behind them and token sale. I am interested in buying it but have no idea how to buy it. Can OP guide me?

I think we need to see more details of this project like who is behind them and token sale. I am interested in buying it but have no idea how to buy it. Can OP guide me?

Yes. If you go and look around this forum you will find lots of posts related to NFT. CATA is killing two birds with one stone i.e targeting FLOW blockchain and solving decentralized storage problems. Lets see whether they roll out what they promised ?

[diana.io]

Whenever new things come in crypto mart everyone went crazy and start running after it but in the end we only see BTC and few alt coins that are standing firmly. I don't think same may be the case with NFT as they have solid idea and will remain there in years to come. Its just my 2 cents.

[floodsitu]

Right now there is debate everywhere about NFT. I can see NFTs on Binance also. For the time being they are hit and everyone running after them but cant say about there future.
CATA has done some good thing by jumping straight away with solution for FLOW blockchain and decentralization storage. 

[cointraderr]

Flow blockchain is one of the popular blockchain offering NFT solutions. CATA is set of protocols that are made to be in compliance with FLOW. This is a big task. I just wanna know whether CATA has necessary team to come with such solutions.

[coinism]

This project is really good and innovative but the team is not doing justice to this project by hiding the dev info and token sale. I request the team to kindly tell us how much platform they have developed so far and how much is left behind. Moreover, token sale info also needs to be there on-site by now. I am interested to know wt protocols they are developing for flow blockchain.

Exactly if you read there whitepaper its written all around that its a one-stop solution for Metaverse data storage. "CATA creatively extends the IPFS protocol to provide decentralized storage while achieving flexible metadata management, and is also compatible with SQL queries, providing extremely user-friendly and developer-friendly data access. source".
The storage solution is still main problem in decentralized world. If CATA roll out there product on time, then no one can stop it from going to moon.

[srhash]

CATA is aiming to build a new complete infrastructure for decentralized data storage. If we talk about Decentralized apps they have more complex data storage requirements. Not a single file system can meet all of upper layer applications.  The current decentralized ecosystem desperately needs more tools (e.g., databases, data warehouses, CDNs...), which is  exactly the role that CATA is expected to play.

[Barkul]

The way BTC is going I am very much sure we will see alt coins in action too. Can someone guide how and where to buy CATA?

Its good project that is targeting both FLOW blockchain and storage over the blockchain. Its like killing two birds with single stone.

[Anonymous193]

Seems like the project is in its initial stages thats why we dont see info related to token sale, team etc. This is just my suggestion to CATA team that they must seek funding from private investors also not just rely on crowdfunding.

[RankerCan]

Grab as much CATA as you can before it's officially launched. This coin has the ability to go up. I can't say what price it will acquire but it will be a good one. The use case they have proposed is certainly attract more and more investors with time.

[pritchathenexttrader]

Crypto market is embracing NFT revolution with open arms and there are fair chances that NFT will be the new big thing in crypto market after BTC. I think the idea put forwarded by CATA is realistic and very much desired, lets see when they come up with original project.

[floodsitu]

There is dire need for general purpose cloud storage that can be used by all DAPPs in current environment and this is what CATA main aim is. If CATA comes up with what they promised i.e. to provide more flexible, scalable, and practical data management services for upper layer of decentralized applications. no one can control them from going to moon.

There are many people in queue to see the results of CATA. But i don't see much update on website nor here. OP can you please update us where I can find update about this project. Since I am interested in investing here.

[MgoSgo]

Going through there docs I came to know that "CATA's Metadata Engine, Minerva, is released now!".

Its a data query engine built upon a combination of three co-operating components: Qri- the data management tool, Drill- the distributed query engine, and IPFS- the storage backend. (source)

Thats a good news. We need to learn more such news to get familiar with whats going on.
Minerva is back bone on CATA. It takes benefit of flexibility of Drill’s query engine and the scalability facto of IPFS's filesystem which is decentralized. Every user of Minerva has a local node, and the Minerva nodes form a peer-to-peer network. A user who has a particular dataset in her local store is a provider for that dataset, and can accept queries about it from other users in the network.

The concept of decentralized storage system is much awaited solution which crypto industry will welcome with open arms. CATA has secured it future share by jumping in this niche at very beginning.

[Ofg38]

How do I buy this?

[MgoSgo]

How do I buy this?

This is something I am badly looking for. Despite all my efforts I cant find answer to this query. If I can get to know how can I buy CATA, I will defiantly grab lots of them. I am sure it will go up but with time.

Indeed, there is not a word about private sale or sales at all in the documentation or in the Whitepaper.
The project is announced in the token-related section of the forum, so it would be strange if it had its own source of funding.
I think we just have to wait for the announcement of tokenomics details and roadmap.

[blatchcorn]

Blockchain is complex and right now there is no single file system available that can meet upper layer expectations. We need more of stuff that can handle databases, data warehouses, CDNs etc. If CATA is the solution designed for this then it will be a huge success.

Exactly! We think there is still a big gap in the decentralized storage, especially in the mid-tier tools part. That's what we hope to do. We are currently able to provide sql-compatible query engines and will introduce more useful tools in the future.

Everything looks great and from what I can see a lot of people would like to invest in this idea now.
Could you please provide some information about the token you want to create and its functionalities, or at least some approximate date of starting the sale?

[RankerCan]

Can you explain what services you are offering to improve mid-tier tools in decentralized storage? Moreover, you still missed the key point that is asked on this thread over and over again i.e. where we can invest in this project?

Now we have set up a query engine on top of the Decentralized File System, that means developers can manage structured data and query them effectively also in decentralized manner. It may serve like a decentralized database and it is sql-compatible and serverless. And we are going to integrate more tools including cache, cdn, RDF, and even AI-related tools in the future.
And sorry for missing the point about investment. We currently have a fundraising program and it is still in progress. You can send E-mail to investor@cata.network for further information.

[blatchcorn]

And hey!

I see a lot of people are asking about token sale, here is an explanation:
We are currently conducting the only round of fundraising of CATA within the ecosystem. We will accept support from projects in the ecosystem, not only in terms of funding, but also in terms of technical cooperation, community building, etc.
If you would like to invest in this round, you can send e-mails to investor@cata.network, with a brief introduction about yourself. We will reply you as soon as possible and have a further discussion.

Thanks!

Feel free! Anything, such as projects you've been involved in, or your insights into the crypto, decentralized storage, etc.
Since this project is still in its early stages, we prefer to receive support from projects that are more related to the project itself or to the ecology, rather than just money.
If you are from a related project or organization, we would love to establish a partnership with you. Of course, if you are just a big fan of crypto, we can reserve some amount of tokens for you, but we need to communicate with you by email first.

Thanks!

[srhash]

That's something interesting to read that they will reserve some coins for people who are crypto fan. I think such reservation must be made compulsory by all new projects. People who spend time on study the project must be given due respect.

[coinism]

CATA team has provided one of core solution to blockchain i.e. providing a complete one-stop solution for Dapp data storage. The project is in its early stages and if they can convince investors (not only reply on crowdfunding) they can get huge business. Since those who understand blockchain knows how big this project will be, if they deliver what they are saying.

[Theones]

NFT is coming more stronger then we think, I don't know how they will behave in future but right now everyone is talking about them and thats why i think CATA has huge market to capture. In days to come we see more and more CATA projects and there will more demand of CATA solution i.e. decentralized storage. 

[galambo]

Decentralized storage is required by not only NFTs but also by other blockchain based systems like DAPPs. Many are waiting for the launch of such projects since the NFT domain is overwhelmed by new projects but not many are providing solution to already existing problems. Lets wait and see how this project comes out.

[og kush420]

CATA network has two important components, First is metadata storage, which is designed based on Minerva. The second is file storage, which is designed based on IPFS cluster in first period. These both components will help CATA in achieving there goal that is decentralized storage. In future we expect that we have some decentralized storage in some form.

[mm2543363580]

There are some good developments going on in CATA. Recently Hurun Research, the most famous wealthy report media in China, has announced a partnership with CATA network in NFT area. Recently, CATA network dev team has worked with Hurun Research in  launching the NFT collection of 30 & Under Self-Made Billionaires 2021 in China. Source

If you are following CATA Network then you must have heard about there designed of a set of interaction protocols for the Cadence contract layer of Flow, this allows the integration and traceability of token transactions and data storage, this is just another step towards providing a one-stop solution for NFT  publishing, storage, management and circulation.

How much you will reserve for cypto enthusiastic ? I mean if I wanted to reserve 5000 CATA coins for myself then how much I have to pay you and what currencies you are accepting? Its a good project since we dont have any decentralized crypto project in crypto domain, I am sure it will be a big success that why I am interested. 

[mm2543363580]

Decentralized storage is something essential for NFTs, with decentralized storage the concept of NFT remains incomplete. I dont know why not many are thinking about this aspect. The way NFT market is going very soon it will grab a huge crypto market share and at that time we will see full worth of projects like CATA. Buy it now and HODL.

[wtr1133]

Those who think that NFT dont have big future and ignoring associated projects are missing a huge opportunity to invest. FLOW is backed by chinese team while CATA also looks to be s backed by China. DYOR and try to invest in NFT related projects, you wont regret.

[galambo]

In the world of crypto, new projects never stop coming. They will be coming with time and we need to be very careful while we invest in any of such coin. NFT no doubt today is very popular but will it remain popular still after this bull run or it will be over with that. These are some facts which as an investor you have to keep in your mind.

@blatchcorn whats the best source to find latest update about your project? I mean on which social media platforms you are active. All I can see on your twitter account are just retweets. There is nothing where we find info on how to invest, the tokennomics etc. I suggest be active on platforms like bitcointalk.org, so we get to know more about what you doing.

Real issue is there are not much updated about CATA on twitter page. Can you please update it on weekly basis because by not providing timely updates you are missing key audiences. People will take more interest if you update your twitter page on regular basis. If you dont do this your competitors will do that and gain the benefit.

Twitter should be updated by their recent developments. Usually, it is the first social media channel that will be updated. Because people are more into socmed these days. But would appreciate if they can post some updates in their thread also. This will also help their visibility in this community. Because some people are not familiar with their socmed channels, and more on lurking the forum.

IMO these days no channel should be left unattended whether its Twitter or bitcointalk.org. You don't where your potential customer is. Bitcointalk.org has over 2 million users and almost all of them are crypto literate. You dont find so many crypto subscribers anywhere else. The way OP is active here, I am sure he will discuss this with the team.

Really, there is a problem with CATA team communication with community. There is only one chanel, where we can find interesting for us information about project development - Twitter account. And the last post there was made on 26 October. Besides, it would be better to create blog. It would be another way for us to find out new information about project.

I do agree with you. Its such an interesting project but wasn't able to get attention of community because of lack of updates coming from there dev team.

It may be possible that they are in there development phase and don't wanna share updates right now. with time we will see updates of this project. but that's strange that they have restricted investment in there project. They must allow people to jump in, trust me lots of people wanna invest in that project.

One of best thing which I like about CATA is there documentation. You can find every detail in there documentation section, really appreciate that effort. The project is also on Github which is also a plus point. CATA is a project that provides a complete one-stop solution for Metaverse data storage.

[mm2543363580]

I have a question that is there any other platform that is offering similar type of solution that is offered by CATA or you are the first one to offer such solution. If you are the unique one then you have better opportunity to have moon short earlier in your life cycle, as you dont find any competitor.

I dont think there is anyother platform that is providing similar type of solution, its CATA that is first one to target FLOW and NFT by providing a decentralized storage solution. This will be a big success if they were able to delvier what they are saying in there technical papers. All eyes are on what they release.

[mm2543363580]

I can wish you good luck, the description of the project sounds interesting

I too have same feelings for this project, its quite a good one if you read complete description of this project. I was amazed to see that such problems exists in crypto and till date no one realized that solution for such problems must be given. The impact area of this project is huge and we will see it once we see the project coming out.

As the title of this project says that its One-stop Storage Solution for NFT means it will cover everything related to NFT. They have targeted Flow blockchain, which is top of the line NFT blockchain. Chances are they will earn huge money in there pre-launch sales. I am waiting for there initial launch.

[mm2543363580]

Well NFTs are far from going down and out, they are here to stay unlike other short lived concepts. What makes CATA unique in this domain is there token real world use cases. CATA is not just another coin that is launched with intention of making money, instead there is strong team behind the project.

I have a different opinion that in start majority of concepts in crypto are able to grab huge attention but with time they lose there popularity. remember the ICO boom in 2017? even shit coins enjoy the ride at that time. But with time they are not that much popular, We need to wait and see how far will NFT go.

[mm2543363580]

All those interested in getting CATA can join there community building program these days. Since thats the only option available to get CATA. Grab every opportunity that help you in acquiring CATA since it will be big hit if the team builds out what they have promised in the whitepaper.

2021 is coming to an end and we have o admit that NFT dominated this year and chances are that it will dominate next year also. All those who fear that NFT is short lived hype phenomena and defiantly living in fools world. TBH there is no best investment then NFT at the moment since its down in price and chances are it will go up with time.

CATA is providing a complete decentralized storage system that provide scalable storage functionality for the upper Blockchain Systems and Dapps through Minerva Layer. The minerva Layer is most interesting part of CATA, its a data query engine built that has three components: Qri- the data management tool, Drill- the distributed query engine, and IPFS- the storage backend.

The popularity of NFTs can be seen from the fact that melaina trup wife of ex President of USA is going to launch and NFT with her own painting. President Trump was not in favor of crypto when he was in power but deep down in his heart he knows its a valuable thing. Thats why her wife is launching an NFT.

2021 was clearly the year of NFTs and many have recognized it. There are many more to come after Maleina trump, just hold your breath. With rise in popularity of NFTs there will be dire need for decentralized storage also, a short coming many have ignored so far. CATA jumping in this side at very early stage, this will be edge for them.

There are few competitors of CATA like BigchainDB and Cassandra. CATA is not alone in this category. But if you see the comparison chart then CATA has some edges. CATA is going on public blockchain while other two are private or Permissioned blockchain, which in my view are against the crypto ideology.

Going through this thread I came to know that CATA is not launching his token right now. I think by doing so they are missing the opportunity to grab the market at its peak. year 2021 was year of NFT and same boom of NFTs may not be seen in 2022 as Metaverse is taking over crypto market.

This might be true analysis but only OP can answer it that why CATA is not launching its pre-sale when its the right time to sale the tokens. I studied this project and it adds to my knowledge that Blockchain is experiencing lack of decentralized storage. Dont know why nobody paid any attention to it.

[srhash]

NFTs have strong requirements for storage and queries, thats the main reason for development of CATA project. CATA has designed a set of interaction protocols for Flow's Cadence contract layer, enabling integration and full traceability of token transactions and data storage, providing a one-stop solution for NFT publishing, storage, management and distribution.

[PochJvb]

NFTs will gain more popularity in year 2022 then what they got in 2021. So CATA One-stop Storage Solution for NFT idea will get more popularity with its launch in 2022. I searched there site but wasn't able to find the road map? Administrator can you please share the roadmap.

[AntChe]

A decentralized storage is not only that has a complete storage system along with data persistence capability, but also provide highly data reading efficiency and flexible retrieval capability to meet all the storage requirements in the Dapp lifecycle. CATA is moving in the right direction for aiming the correct target.

[blatchcorn]

If you wanna try something new and exciting then I think CATA is the right one to be tested in year 2022. They have identified the real shortcomings of NFTs and are developing protocols for FLOW blockchain. It will defiantly be a big success.

NFTs are coming like a hurricance and those who are early adopters to this niche will be the ultimate winners in the long run. I just have a question from OP that in the title of this thread its written that CATA is middleware as well as Decentralized Cloud Storage. Can you explain this a bit?

There is a reason for getting excited about NFTS because everyone is jumping into NFTs. I am not a big fan of such things that are short lived but one must not miss solid projects that are offering solutions. I like CATA not because they are giving NFT based solution rather because they are offering something realistic.

If you are aware of NFT buzz then you are also aware that it wont last that long. Try to stay alert about your investment in NFT based project this hype may go down at any time. You just need to exit them on right time.

Thats the beauty of crypto world, you have to take risk at the right time to get your reward. Though I dont see much risk in investing in this project, as they have defined a clear short coming in decentralized storage. Once they launched actual product then it will be difficult to catch it.

[pinko5]

There must be no misconception about NFTs future, at-least in 2022 they will be among top trends, With no decentralized storage, projects giving the idea of decentralized can easily be manipulated by teams. Once we have decentralized storage this issue can easily be resolved.

how can you say there is no decentralized storage available ? Remember file coin, they are giving same solution from very early days and there product is very much matured. CATA has done a good job but it will take some time.

The momentum is shifting towards metaverse now keep an eye on that also. 2022 may be year of metaverse. NFTs have generated lots of revenue in 2021 so just be careful about them now.

Whether 2022 is about NFT or about Metaverse still need for decentralized storage will continue to exist unless we have a stable solution for that. CATA is moving in right direction by introducing a product that is badly required in crypto market.

Its almost 6 months since this thread is created and even today there is no info about token sale. May I know when are you planning to go for token sale or it will remain secret from general public?

Its a much awaited solution and I am afraid why nobody has touched that issue till date. There are many people in the queue waiting to see CATA in action and I am very sure this coin has bright future. The team is confident about the project thats y they are not in hurry to launch the sale of token.

Better to do pre-sale when you have some development work completed. Majority of projects want to raise money prior of doing any actual development on the project, its now a norm here in crypto world. If CATA is moving with this mentality then they are going in right direction and they will definalty get there moon shot.

Majority of projects want to raise money prior of doing any actual development on the project, its now a norm here in crypto world. If CATA is moving with this mentality then they are going in right direction and they will definalty get there moon shot.

It may be double edge sword, market is getting bearish and investors are moving out. If you delay your pre sale further then you may not get good result in days to come. Its very secret project as we only have info about its whitepaper nothing else is shared so far.

[ddal3]

I think market has taken its profit and now for may be a year or two we have bears taking on. Majority of coins have taken advantage of this bull run and have seen ATH or top value. I just wanna say that stay vigilant and DYOR before you made any investment.

When investing in any coin its important to consider factors like what idea they are going to build, is it something doable or not. If you dig deep in CATA then its offering everything a solid coin should have. Thats why I consider it as a safe bet, rest is your choice.

[TooLate1]

I have a question if Admin can answer that, have you considered the performance matrix while designing the storage and database engines of CATA project. If one is posting NFTs of size 5 TB on CATA, is CATA capable of handling such large data and that too efficiently.

If you go through there website then its written that "One-stop storage solution for Metaverse with flexible metadata engine". I am very much sure that without addressing the performance parameter we cant achieve desired results with such project. I am also waiting to see how fast this solution will be.

I think its not a very new idea there are other such solutions already in the market like FILE COIN that are harnessing the power of IPFS. But its a good edition in the market that we have more such platforms that will increase the competition. Lets see how far this concept goes from here.

You are mixing it up. IPFS is a different thing and CATA is totally different thing. The concept behind CATA is to build a storage system for NFTs specially that is decentralized in nature and this is something not available till date. Moreover, CATA is targeting Flow blockchain.

IPFS InterPlanetary File System is P2P system for storing files on distributed system which is very much what CATA is trying to create aka decentralized storage system. CATA solution is already in the market and you cant say this is something very new.

[Anonymous193]

Its almost six months since we are seeing this thread. May I ask is there any update regarding token development or we still have to wait further more. I dont understand the motive behind delaying the token sale for so long.

If you are interested in this project then you need to focus more about utilites and core concept of this token. How is the decentralized storage development going and can you tell how much storage space in total you will offer? I am interested to how how fast one can retrieve his data from your storage space. 

CATA is mixture of NFTs, FLOW and decentralized storage. The project has lot to offer in the form of its storage feature. Flow is one of the most popular NFT based blockchain which Cata is targetting.

But the issue with CATA is that its not going beyond its white paper launch, we only saw and read its whitepaper which is very much interesting but there is no update about its development activities. Still no update when they are launching there token sale or its sold to private investors only.

[KngrKhna]

From title of this thread I can say CATA is about flow blockchain that is providing decentralized cloud storage. But what does middle ware says here? Please dont say that read whitepaper to learn about it, I need a short answer here.

Don't think OP is interested in your question. Middle ware may refer to storage media that holds NFTs that are hosted on blockchain. Middleware is usually a software that provides interoperability and CATA is trying to give interoperability b/w blockchain and the storage media.

i am talking as of today.

there is no update about token sale on there website nor on there social media channels.

Really don't know whats the reason for all that fuss.

If you are not selling your tokens then why do an ICO?

[Kellygucci]

Flow blockchain has gone down drastically in its value from 38 dollars in Apr-May 2021 to 5$ right now. I am very much sure NFTs popularity are coming down and they are no more as popular as they are in 2021 and this in turn is alarmingly for projects like CATA who are dead silent.

[galambo]

I m not much interested in this project since there is nothing coming up about this project. Neither there is any update about the project nor anything about token sale. The project idea is solid no doubt but we need to see what team is doing to make it a successful project. Also if you are willing to sell your token then wts the aim of project.

[gageproject]

With more and more DAPPs rolling out, there is growing demand for Dapp data storage. I personally like the idea of extending current IPFS protocol by CATA to provide decentralized storage while achieving flexible metadata management. Just waiting to see this in action.

I completely agree. I only just read about this, but it seems like a perfect solution for a problem that not a lot of members of the public reading about crypto realise we have.

I'm still reading up, but I'm curious about your remark. Is CATA not in action yet? In a quick glance it seems like there is a long history of activity.

There only social media account is on twitter and there you can find only few retweets nothing about when can see at least there MVP.

Why would we message them privately? If we have to send them a private note then why is this Ann thread created. Lets just close this and make a note that anyone interested can just email us for details. I try to get some info from there twitter page but all I find is retweets of NFTs nothing about CATA.

[ChinkoCharlie]

I don't think NFTs are in a mood of slowing down in 2022, even if they slow down then need for decentralized storage will always be there and CATA is doing the right thing by addressing decentralized storage and targeting flow blockchain for NFTs. I am just waiting to see how actual product looks like in coming days.

NFTs are no more popular as in 2022 metaverse is the new big thing. More and more investment is going towards Metaverse. But I do agree that CATA solution of providing decentralizaed storage is a thing that will always remain in demand whether or not NFTs are popular or not.

That may or not be true since 2022 is in its very early stage and so far NFTs are doing good, So I think CATA still has good road ahead in 2022 provided they meet there targets in 2022. If they can meet there targets in 2022 then CATA can reach new heights.

[Colossal Enterprises LLC]

There is lots of moment in crypto market regarding NFTs and Metaverse. I am sure CATA has some space to adjust metaverse also which is boiling issue these days. If CATA can some how integrate both Meta verse and NFTs then it will have is moon shot very soon.

Correct me if I am wrong same concept is seen in Filecoin that is launched in 2017. Now 5 years later we have another such project that is providing a decentralized storage not only for CATA but for general storage also. IF they can deliver what they are saying (though we hear nothing from them) then it can be a big success

Na you are comparing two different things. Filecoin was launched in an era when everyone was crazy for ICO and there is no concept of NFTs at that time. CATA is providing decentralized storage for NFTs along with general storage. Thats the prime difference b/w filecoin and CATA.

I guess filecoin was launched with different use case while utility of CATA is altogether different. CATA has identified shortcomings in blockchain and has proposed a decentralized storage for NFTs. Dont forget they are targeting two things NFTs and flow blockchain. Many like me are just waiting for the roll out of the project.

[jimjam1]

The storage solution offered by CATA is compatible with SQL and thats something good enough to make it a big success.

Even if NFT goes down for some reason even then CATA has generalized storage solution that can be used by other blockchain projects. So there is a minimum risk involved in investing in CATA. Right now there pre sale is not opened but dont miss the opportunity.

That's the right approach, honestly the way NFT market is going IMO its very much saturated and wont be that much success in year 2022. Its better to have some backup utility apart from just providing storage space for NFT. CATA is also having a general storage that is compatible with SQL queries.

[CoinLover79]

NFTs are far from being over there are lots of still coming and the volume is increasing. so CATA is launched at the right moment and I think the team is waiting for the right moment to launch the product when they think they have there moment.

I have zero doubt about popularity of NFTs but the only concern is that there are already too many NFTs in the market and the competition is too tough for new comers. CATA has to come up with strong implementation of its project to have a success else it will just another shot coin.

On there website its written that project started as decentralized storage solution for FLOW blockchain. That clearly means they are targeting NFTs as well as decentralized storage. Right now I am waiting to see how they will look like once they are launhced. Lets see the implementation.

I was going through your whitepaper and found that you have two core components of your project aka decentralized storage and decentralized database. Can you explain whats the difference between both of them as I think both are closely associated with eachother.

[jimjam1]

Decentralized storage is the core component of CATA which means that storage can be done on different locations not at central one. While the database is the one that can be used to refer or query the decentralized storage.

My question which I have already asked so many times but still not answered is that is MASS the first one to offer decentralized storage or we have some other projects like filecoin that are offering similar services? As far as i know filecoin is offering similar service for quite a while now.

This project is working to build a cloud platform that is very unique, I have rarely seen a project that wants to develop the cloud storage industry in cryptocurrency. In addition, this project will also develop their NFT, it can be seen from their twitter, but the community that CATA has currently is very small, even information on CATA token data cannot be found on sites such as Coinmarketcap and Coinecko, the twitter community is quite small and does not have a telegram group. , how do you develop your project with very little community support.

CATA has done one good thing that they have chosen the right aim of there project i.e. developing a decentralized storage for NFTs. You pointed out correctly that not much info is available about this coin on CMC and there twitter page is also not very active. May be they are in pre-launch era where they are making team or gathering required data.

[sovie]

The idea of making a "one stop storage solution for NFT" at this point is best thing about this project. Right now NFTs are at full boom and new NFTs are launching every day. With such growing pace of NFT the demand for decentralized storage space is also coming up. I am amused to know that we don't have any decentralized storage space till now.

Its not a project that can be developed in days or week, developing a decentralized storage eco-system need time and skilled team. If you are interested in this project then better stick with them and wait for sometimes. The  IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) protocol is extended to provide a decentralized storage system and you can imagine it will take some times.

NFTs are coming like a hurricane and those who still undermine the power of NFTs are at mistake. This year even more NFTs are coming then last year. CATA is moving in right direction by targeting an area that will have increased demand in coming days.

The existing main decentralized storage solutions like filecoin only provide storage module. AFAIK, CATA is not limited to a specific storage module (e.g.file system or database). The idea is to develop a big decentralized data system that provide flexible, scalable and practical data management services for upper layer.

I've rarely seen a cryptocurrency project looking to grow in this cloud industry, but I found it again after over a year of not seeing it. But I see they are now doing the concept of collaboration with NFT which makes the Cloud look more mechanical, But if you combine this concept, especially with NFT with a concept that is still not perfect in the security section, will you solve this solution too?

They are trying to give a decentralized solutions that is not general at all means it will also provide a storage medium for NFTs also. With evolution of NFTs its now realized that there are not any ideal decentralized storage which can store NFTs. I think its high time to roll out this solution as demand for this is growing.

So its a complete one stop storage solution for complete metaverse, I think they are claiming a very big thing. Metaverse is most popular term of this year and even facebook have been renamed to this. with time we will see more such solutions. so you loose share in the long run.

since the demand of decentralized storage will increase with time as NFTs will be released with time. Those who are early in the market will definitely get more share then those who join this domain at later part.

CATA has also introduced the concept of decentralized database which is different then traditional databases used till date.

The real issue is that NFTs are using blockchain for building the marketplace while metadata relies on central storage solutions and linkage of both these things are creating poor user experience of NFTs. There is a need to design a protocol that solves this problem of bad user experience.

I dont think there is any such problem. NFTs are doing very much good and we are not having any user experience problem. Still we can wait and see for the MVP and get our conclusion from that.
