⚡STORE: Web3's Electricity Imagine a world where cloud computing and AI aren't controlled by tech superpowers, but owned, monetized, and governed by all of us. This is STORE.

STORE transforms cloud computing by merging traditional services with blockchain technology through a single token, $STORE. Our Byzantine Fault Tolerant architecture decentralizes high-performance cloud infrastructure, targeting a growing $3 trillion industry across cloud, data, crypto, and AI.

With STORE, users own the economics of this frontier. Governors earn revenue proportional to their stake. Developers access cloudspace for next-gen apps, NFTs, and AI with their own token economies. Creators compress entire industries into smart contracts. Data, content, IP, and AI achieve true permanence and programmability. The cloud is finally freed.

Our +⅔ trust-minimized cross-cloud and chain infrastructure starts with STORE cloudspace and Ethereum blockspace, then expands to STORE Chain+. STORE is a protocol of protocols, governed by the first-ever BFT Democracy – a true 0 to 1 invention.

⚡ This is more than technology; it's a movement to electrify computing, data, and AI – transforming its economics from Big Tech controlled to user owned.

STORE pioneers cloudspace, merging traditional cloud and blockchain with proofs and verifiability. This innovative primitive unlocks high-performance, on-chain capabilities for developers, seamlessly integrating cloud services with public blockchains. It creates a crypto-native environment for next-generation applications, NFTs, and AI to emerge with their own token economies.

At STORE's core is Dynamic Proof of Stake (DyPoS), a groundbreaking economic consensus mechanism offering self-governing, adaptive, and profit-maximizing network operation. DyPoS incentivizes the aggregation, monetization, and governance of distributed computing resources.

Cloud IDs enable cloudspace by providing a decentralized, collision-resistant naming scheme for seamless on-chain and off-chain resource integration. Combined with STORE infrastructure and DyPoS, this challenges the conventional 100% on-chain web3 paradigm, proposing a 95% off-chain and 5% on-chain model secured by $STORE tokens—enabling web3 to reach webscale.

Our AI Oracle, powered by 350+ APIs, provides crucial network intelligence and optimizes for monetary soundness and profitability. STORE's self-reinforcing architecture nurtures autonomous token economies, fostering high-powered apps, AI, NFTs, and smart contracts.

The $STORE token enables fee-less resource payments while fueling growth, governance, and security. Governed by BFT Democracy, our infrastructure spans clouds and chains, positioning STORE as a self-improving protocol of protocols for high-growth web3.

The centralization of cloud computing, data storage, cryptocurrency, and AI by a few tech giants has stifled innovation and true decentralization. This concentration of power creates significant risks:

1. Developers face vendor lock-in, high costs, and limited control on public clouds.

2. Over 60% of major proof-of￾stake blockchain nodes and 90% of AI GPUs operate on centralized clouds.

3. This centralization poses a $2 trillion compute counterparty risk for the decentralization and AI industries.

These issues underscore the urgent need for a decentralized, secure cloud alternative that can support the next generation of Web3 technologies and preserve the ethos of decentralization.

STORE addresses these critical issues by democratizing high-performance cloud computing. It gives users ownership and economic stake in a in a growing $2 trillion industry while extending it with on-chain innovation. Key benefits include:

1. Decentralization of storage, compute, and bandwidth, mitigating centralization risks.

2. User-centric economies (token economies) for apps, NFTs, and AI, challenging Big Tech dominance.

3. Innovative incentives enabling users to own and monetize computing infrastructure.

4. Access to substantial off-chain resources for developers, fueling next-gen token-powered applications.

5. Unique ability for developers to pay for both off-chain and on-chain infrastructure using their own tokens.

By providing these solutions, STORE not only addresses the cen￾tralization problem but also creates new opportunities for innovation, fostering a truly decentralized and democratized cloud ecosystem.

STORE's economic system incentivizes network security, infrastructure maintenance, and community participation. Stakeholders receive proportional rewards while sharing costs, creating a balanced, leaderless economy (1:1:1 leaderless token economy). This model combines democratic governance with market-driven economics. The initial financial plan (First Treasury) is scheduled to operate for over a decade with a carefully managed, low annual inflation rate (DyPoS driven 1-2% annual inflation). The community can extend and adjust this policy over time, ensuring the system's evolution. A series of checks and balances ensures that monetary decisions are made democratically, prioritizing the long-term stability and growth of the network.

STORE's governance evolves into a one entity, one vote democracy, ensuring equal representation regardless of stake size. The STORE Association in Switzerland and the staked Governor DAO work together in a checks and balances model to maintain human oversight of computing resources while fostering AI innovation. This unique approach aligns the economic interests of humans and machines through democratic principles. Association Stewards manage day-to-day operations, while the Governor DAO votes on significant changes requiring a +⅓ threshold over 4-year periods. In cases of disagreement, the Governor DAO can overrule Stewards with a +⅔ supermajority vote. This staged implementation of STORE Democracy represents a groundbreaking step in fair, transparent, aligned, and efficient human <> AI symbiotic governance.

This Swiss-based entity harmonizes STORE Democracy's decentralized elements with traditional governance. It navigates the intersection of crypto and Swiss law, establishing a compliant framework for STORE's ecosystem. By bridging decentralized governance and legal recognition, the Association pioneers a novel model for blockchain organizations.

STORE enables users to own and monetize computing infrastructure, data, and AI across $3 Trillion+ of fast growing markets.

• Cloud computing: $546B industry, 21% CAGR, $1.4T by 2027

• Data storage: $247B industry, 16% CAGR, $778B by 2030

• AI: $100B industry, 45% CAGR, $2T by 2030

• Crypto: $2 Trillion+

STORE's U.S. patented BlockfinBFT consensus algorithm powers STORE Chain and decentralizes AI. A second patent for a data availability layer is expected. Multiple trademarks have been acquired. More IP is in our portfolio. Additional patents are anticipated.

STORE enables users to permanently store data/IP/AI, earning 2% royalties upon monetization - a new web3 primitive. This streamlined process requires just a few clicks, with no gas fees and a single payment for both blockspace and cloud storage access. STORE expands major industries by enabling new forms of monetization, collaboration, and innovation. Content creators can monetize IP through permanent storage and NFTs, with smart contracts automa￾ting complex revenue sharing. As STORE evolves, developers can build self-sustaining and autonomous token economies by using their own tokens to pay for cloud and blockspace computing infrastructure. As it matures, STORE will support high-quality video NFTs, pay-per-view content, and decentralized AI, powered by crowd-funded bandwidth and GPUs where users earn royalties for funding infrastruc￾ture. This interconnected economy, governed by BFT Democracy, fosters new innovation across multiple sectors including sports, entertain￾ment, science, technology, and AI.

STORE's digital democracy balances decentralization with accountability. Stakeholders guide decision-making through a community-led organiza￾tion (Governor DAO), with rights to propose, vote on, and challenge official decisions. This structure encourages active community involvement while maintaining the network's stability and resilience (Byzantine Fault Tolerance).

An equitable release schedule for all $STORE owners, including the STORE Association and founders, will be voted on by First Governance once the STORE Constitution achieves +⅔ ratification and the $4M seed round is +⅔ complete.

Founders pledge to lock 60%+ of tokens for 8 years in the Treasury Deposits protocol, fostering long-term stability and growth. Other team members, early buyers, and +⅔-trusted owners can participate for 2, 4, or 8 years, enhancing economic security and resilience.
