Q: If a storage provider fails, can the data still be recovered?
Hi,
I understand that password data is encrypted, fragmented, and stored across a distributed storage system.
If one of the storage providers you use becomes permanently unavailable, how is data availability ensured?
Does your storage method include redundancy, like in RAID 5 or 6, where one or more fragments can be lost without affecting recovery?
Also, is there any mechanism in place to reconstruct missing data fragments automatically?
Thanks.

Great questions — let me address them one by one in detail:
1️⃣ Redundancy
Yes, similar to RAID5, we maintain redundancy for failover scenarios, and we also offer additional options for our enterprise customers. This ensures that even if one storage provider becomes unavailable, your data remains accessible.
2️⃣ Enterprise-Grade Hyperscalers
Your encrypted fragments are distributed across multiple enterprise-grade hyperscalers such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. These providers already offer built-in redundancy and high availability. On top of that, we optionally maintain cross-regional backups — for example, if the Frankfurt region were to experience an issue, we could continue from the Zurich region. This provides an extra layer of assurance against localized failures.
3️⃣ Automatic Reconstruction
Yes, that's when our unique protocol kicks-in. All reconstruction happen automatically via our unique protocol. Only your encrypted & fragmented content is stored on hyperscalers — the encrypted metadata (ownership, mapping, and fragmentation details) is stored on our blockchain layer. This guarantees that data recovery is tamper-proof, immutable, and verifiable.
In short, our main mission is to deliver the highest level of security and privacy, thus data availability being one of the underlying attributes of security that is also built into the core of our architecture 🙂
