Why Bluzelle is Different

Too Long; Didn't Read

We frequently get asked how Bluzelle is different from a number of data storage solutions, including but not limited to Filecoin, Storj, Sia, and IPFS. The comparison is not ideal because, though all of these services can be used to store information, they answer different problems. For example, bitcoin itself can be used to store data, but using it as the data storage for a database would result in a comically slow and expensive application. For a more realistic example, consider IPFS: it can in theory be used to store data, but it provides no guarantee about how long the data will be available unless you’re hosting it yourself. IPFS is more about addressing and transporting data. It can be thought of as a transport protocol somewhere between bittorrent and HTTP.
