The Web keeps on growing — alongside its problems. Data is becoming ever more centralized which makes it subject to theft, corruption, accidental loss, and censorship. Centralization puts the freedom of the Internet in danger by facilitating state restrictions, end of net neutrality, and other similar issues. At the same time, we will soon face the challenge of capacity shortage with the existing data centers, when the amount of information stored online becomes unmanageable for them.
Blockchain-based hosting provider
DeNet is creating a decentralized platform on blockchain that will make the processing power of devices from across the globe available to those who need it. All data within the ecosystem will be stored on multiple devices. Distributed and encrypted, it will be protected from third parties. At the same time, owners of the devices get rewarded for renting them out.DNET tokens for processing power
The ecosystem of DeNet is built around two types of users:- Customers who purchase computing power and space capacity;
- Owners of computer power and capacity who rent it out.
The relationships between the two types are based on the DNET tokens which will be the accounting currency within the platform. Payment for using the platform’s main services and additional features will also be provided in DNETs.

The DeNet whitepaper features a comparison charts demonstrating how they are different from other similar solutions, both centralized and decentralized such as Substratum, Storj, HostCoin, and others. According to this chart, the key competitive advantages with DeNet against similar blockchain-based solutions include:- Web hosting feature;

The team behind DeNet does not labor under the illusion that their solution is completely unique and innovative, neither are they trying to convince the audience of that.
