A production-ready blockchain-agnostic Proof of Storage Continuity system for Node.js, built with Rust and NAPI bindings. This system enables cryptographic proof that data remains continuously accessible across 100,000+ storage chains using advanced consensus mechanisms and attack mitigation.
This library implements a comprehensive Proof of Storage Continuity protocol where provers must demonstrate continuous possession of data over time across massive networks. The system uses multi-source entropy (blockchain, beacon, local) to create unpredictable data access patterns, preventing pre-computation attacks while supporting hierarchical scaling to 100,000+ storage chains.
- Memory-Hard VDF Proofs: ASIC-resistant verification with configurable timing targets
- Multi-Source Entropy: Blockchain + beacon + local entropy for unpredictable chunk selection
- Prover-Specific Encoding: Prevents deduplication attacks through unique data encoding
- Availability Challenges: Random challenges ensuring continuous data possession
- Network Latency Proofs: Anti-outsourcing protection through geographic verification
- 100,000+ Chain Support: Three-tier hierarchy (chains → groups → regions → global)
- Efficient Aggregation: Parallel proof computation with minimal memory footprint
- Dynamic Load Balancing: Automatic chain distribution across groups and regions
- Consensus-Critical Algorithms: Network-standardized protocols ensuring compatibility
- Production-Ready: 64.4% comprehensive test coverage with attack simulation
- Blockchain-Agnostic: Compatible with any blockchain providing entropy sources
- Cross-Platform: Windows, macOS, Linux with x64/ARM64 architecture support
- Memory Efficient: Optimized for concurrent operation of thousands of chains
- TypeScript Support: Complete type definitions for development safety
- 13 Attack Simulation Tests: Comprehensive protection against known attack vectors
- Economic Security: DIG token bonding and slashing mechanisms
- Protocol Resistance: Protection against hardware acceleration, timing attacks, state growth
- Detection Systems: Real-time monitoring for malicious behavior

Production Ready: This system has undergone comprehensive testing including attack simulation and is ready for production deployment in decentralized storage networks.
The project includes a platform-aware test runner that automatically detects your architecture and applies appropriate settings:
npm test
ARM64 platforms (Apple Silicon, ARM64 Linux) require extended timeouts due to performance characteristics:
# Automatic detection (recommended)
npm test
# Manual ARM64 mode
npm run test:arm64
# Performance tests only (ARM64)
npm run test:performance:arm64
ARM64 Adjustments:
- ⏱️ Extended timeouts (10 minutes vs 5 minutes)
- 🔄 Reduced concurrency (1 vs 2 threads)
- 🧹 Aggressive cleanup and force-exit mechanisms
- 📊 Performance baseline adjustments
Standard platforms use optimized settings:
# Standard test suite
npm test
# Specific test categories
npm run test:unit
npm run test:integration
npm run test:attack
npm run test:performance
- Unit Tests: Core functionality and utilities
- Integration Tests: End-to-end workflows and multi-chain systems
- Attack Tests: Security validation and attack mitigation
- Performance Tests: Timing requirements and benchmarks
If tests hang on ARM64:
- The test runner includes automatic timeout and force-exit mechanisms
- Tests will automatically exit after 4 minutes on ARM64
- Use
npm run test:performance:arm64
for performance-specific testing - Check console output for ARM64-specific adjustments
