Cloud 3.0
A truly decentralized cloud represents the next evolution of blockchain technology—a cloud not controlled by any single company or organization but open to everyone, decentralized like the internet itself. Imagine a blockchain-powered serverless cloud capable of hosting both data and logic, seamlessly handling file transfers, bureaucracy, and HTTP requests. In this cloud, data is tamper-proof, unstoppable, and horizontally scalable, enabling the creation of sovereign systems and services that need no firewalls for protection.
Legacy technologies, costly and time-consuming bureaucratic processes, rising development and management expenses, and missed business opportunities are among the key challenges that hinder technology startups, institutions, and companies from innovating and staying competitive. At BigFile, we aim to solve these long-standing issues with a serverless cloud infrastructure powered by an advanced public network, where everything integrates seamlessly.
Why build on the BigFile?
Serverless Computing
For businesses, government agencies, and Web3 projects seeking serverless architectures that enable fast and secure development cycles while reducing infrastructure maintenance and operational costs, BigFile—a decentralized blockchain network—will soon offer a powerful alternative.
BigFile’s programming model is designed to resemble that of serverless cloud architectures, allowing applications to be written easily in widely used languages such as Rust or Python.
Manage platform risk
Large-scale software systems that rely on centralized cloud providers are subject to vendor lock-in, which can lead to increasing server costs or necessitate codebase refactoring.
BigFile offers an alternative technology stack that is open and decentralized. Independently owned and operated "node machines," installed in data centers around the world, are connected by advanced network protocols to form a seamless, serverless cloud that is stateful, tamperproof, unstoppable, autonomous, and sovereign—capable of supporting any system.
This is an open cloud where you can build sovereign enterprise infrastructure—just like the internet—without a corporate owner who can make arbitrary updates, introduce backdoors, or implement kill switches.
Kill security costs & risks
The BigFile hosts tamperproof and unstoppable software systems and services that don't require protection from firewalls, SIEM logging, or other traditional cybersecurity frameworks.
Simply put, the BigFile has no backdoors for hackers to exploit, and hosted software or data cannot be attacked by viruses or ransomware.
Built-in digital identity
There's no need to build proprietary identity solutions or rely on for-profit companies to safeguard user data and privacy. BIG ID is a privacy-focused authentication framework native to BigFile, empowering both individuals and businesses with full control over their digital identities. Using secure passkeys, BIG ID seamlessly integrates with any service running on BigFile, enabling a secure and decentralized approach to identity management. The BigFile web wallet enhances this experience, allowing users to deploy decentralized data directly from their browser, securely connect to decentralized applications, and navigate the weave effortlessly. With BIG ID, the future of digital identity is secure, private, and user-centric.
Tokenized business models
From loyalty programs and memberships to ticketing, bureaucratic processes, car rentals or sales, real estate transactions, and title deeds, businesses and institutions must effectively manage customer and citizen relationships to succeed. BigFile provides a unified digital wallet that simplifies the management of digital assets and identities.
Organizations can leverage BigFile's built-in token-based voting tools to effectively involve users in the product development lifecycle and actively encourage their participation.
Extending Existing Software with Blockchain Capabilities
BigFile smart contracts can handle and generate HTTP requests, allowing them to host full-fledged web applications, enterprise solutions, and bureaucratic process networks directly on the blockchain. They also enable direct API calls to online services running in traditional cloud environments or other infrastructures. This flexibility empowers businesses, institutions, and individuals to integrate blockchain capabilities into their existing software, eliminating the need to rebuild their entire operations from scratch on the blockchain.
