DADI is a global, decentralized cloud services platform, offering compute power, database storage, content delivery and other functionality to help businesses scale and grow
Unlike existing centralized cloud services, DADI (Decentralized Architecture for a Democratic Internet) implements a fog computing structure - a decentralized pool of devices, all of which are connected to the Internet.
The platform uses cost-efficient fog computing organized by a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) rather than a centralized cloud structure, removing the need to pay in advance for private and monopolized cloud computing platforms. There are three key groups within the DADI Network:
- Hosts - network node owners who contribute computational power
- Gateways (including Stargates) - network node owners who contribute bandwidth. They are the entry point to the network, acting as an aggregate point for Host node capacity and providing the domain name system that makes Host resources addressable
- Consumers - the users of the network(individuals, businesses, governments and their customers)
DADI Web Services run within the container service on the Host. There are ten key services in development (five of which are functionally complete and in production), with more planned for future roadmapped development:
- DADI API. A high-performance RESTful API layer designed in support of API-first development and the principles of COPE.
- DADI CDN. A just-in-time asset manipulation and delivery layer designed as a modern, global content distribution solution.
- DADI Identity. Guarantees uniqueness of individuals - and powers segmentation - for anonymous and known users.
- DADI Match. Taxonomic framework for automated content classification through machine learning. Plugs into Publish.
- DADI Predict. A machine learning layer that predicts user behaviour at an individual level based on past interactions.
- DADI Publish. A writer's window to the world of content creation. Flexible interfaces designed to optimise editorial workflow.
- DADI Queue. A lightweight, Redis-powered asynchronous task queue featuring simple task routing and throttling.
- DADI Track. Real-time, streaming data layer providing accurate metrics at individual and product level. Drives DADI Identity.
- DADI Visualize. A data visualization interface for Identity and Track, but capable of taking data feeds from virtually any source.
- DADI Web. A schemaless templating layer that can operate as a standalone platform or with API as a full stack web application.
DADI uses its own ERC20 token - DADI. DADI tokens are an integral part of the DADI Network. Consumers will be charged fees for their usage of DADI Web Services. The biggest slice of those fees will go to Hosts, with a percentage of every Host’s income paid to the Gateways that they are attached to. A smaller percentage is retained and dedicated to supporting the underlying connectivity of the network (the Ecosystem fund). A similar percentage is paid to the DADI team for the ongoing development and iteration of the platform, while Investors earn a percentage from all transactions and operational fees.
DADI technology has been in development for four years. The web services at the heart of the platform are currently in production, delivering solutions for leading brands worldwide. But most palpable weakness of the project is the existing competition within the target market DADI is after. Competing for users against the likes of Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud is no easy feat. The main selling point put forward by the team are the highly reduced costs of running DADI over centralized cloud setups.
