Sharder

Cross-Chain Distributed Storage Protocol

ERC20 Token

Sharder Protocol is a cross-chain distributed storage protocol based on blockchain 3.0 and aims to greatly optimize the current blockchain technology, starting with the application of distributed storage and expanding to many other commercial applications.

First of all, Sharder Protocol constructs a distributed storage network, which provides cost-effective storage space, reliable data storage and transparent on- chain information. Eventually, all the storage space, data stored, and digital assets will together form a free market. Sharder Network is accessible not only to conventional storage resources, but also to global public chains (such as Qtum, Ethereum), storage networks (such as IPFS, Aliyun, Baidu Cloud), and personal storages (such as spare disks, cloud disks), etc. Any DApp could be developed for free based on Sharder Chain.

Offline encryption on client terminals, spontaneous data sharding, distributed storage, redundant copies.
No more arms race, no more first-comers-take-them-all, Sharder subscribers are welcome to get a Sharder Hub and start to earn mining reward, or get a Sharder Box and earn threefold rewards (mining, storage, watcher).
The initiative Sharder-UTXO and Sharder-Keypair models ensure that data could not be accessed without credentials. The absolute ownership and privacy is guaranteed.

“All the Sharder Pools eventually compose the distributed Sharder Network. Besides the storage service with high quality and low price, Sharder Network could also house countless DApps such as Bean Cloud, Sharder Matrix, Sharder Brain, One Fair. Based on the cross-chain sharing ecosystem, Sharder Network will radically change the way people exchange data and value.”

Exchanges

Positives

Sharder is unique from it’s competitors in the way that users are able to share data storage and perform private file transactions on the network. Sharder stands out as a competitor with very unique features, something that is essential in a space so populated with competition.
The roadmap featured on Sharders website dates back to Q1 2017 and reaches forward into Q4 2018. Great to see past progress and future milestones equally as descriptive. Clear goals that are all very reasonable.
The R&D team is led by network architects with 10+ years’ experience in programming. Sharder has multiple programmers with 5+ years’ experience in blockchain and the marketing & operating team has experience in various successful projects. the team is definitely a strong point for the project.
The Sharder network is more than just a decentralized storage solution. decentralized applications on the platform allow for different industries such as finance, medical, etc, to use the network for whatever private storage they need. Private data storage has an enormous amount of use cases for various industries.
Sharder boasts partnerships with various companies that are perfect candidates for Sharders technology. partnerships include ZBJ.com, Yijipay, Seachange, bean cloud and more. the advisory board also has some big names on it including Hao Wang (Doctor from the Chinese Academy of Science & Technology) and Yuan Zhou (CEO of JFH.com, Chinasoft International Marketing Advisor).

Concerns

The Sharder website and research resources often have broken English here and there and sometimes this can be very confusing. Not a huge deal but investors should be prepared to read the resources a few times to really understand the content. No doubt these grammatical errors will be revised somewhere down the line.
Competition in this space has been popping up quite a bit over the past year (2017/2018). you’ve got Sia, Storj, Dadi and others all fighting to have unique features and have their own take on the decentralized storage solution. Sharder does have enough unique points that it stands out from the rest, so this is not a huge concern.
Sharder has a huge range of features, the team here is trying to do a lot. during research, some of the terminology Sharder uses to describe components of the network may be overwhelming for some. With all of the features Sharder is looking to implement, investors should keep tabs on the development progress of Sharder as this is definitely a long term hold.
