SolanaVault

Decentralized Blockchain Compression & Storage Network for Solana

Under active development

SolanaVault is under active development. APIs, schemas, and on-chain layouts may change. Production use at your own risk. Issues + PRs welcome — see the GitHub repo.

SolanaVault is a fully decentralized network that provides 15-25:1 compression ratios on Solana blockchain data with drop-in RPC compatibility and built-in economic incentives.

Why SolanaVault?

Challenge SolanaVault Solution
Blockchain data grows exponentially 15-25:1 compression ratios
Centralized infrastructure is a single point of failure Fully decentralized P2P network
Running nodes is expensive Light clients with pay-per-use pricing
No economic incentive for operators Gateway operators earn 95% of fees

Key Features

High-Performance Compression

  • 15-25:1 typical compression ratios (up to 30:1 on redundant blocks)
  • 13-85 microseconds decompression per block
  • Three-stage pipeline optimized for Solana data patterns

True Decentralization

  • Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus
  • Kademlia DHT peer discovery
  • No central points of failure
  • NNG-based P2P transport with microsecond latency

Economic Sustainability

  • Pay-per-use model for light clients
  • Gateway operators earn revenue
  • Volume discounts for high-usage applications
  • Self-sustaining network economics

Drop-in Compatibility

  • Standard Solana RPC API works unchanged
  • Existing tools and workflows continue to work
  • No code changes required for applications

Choose Your Path

Quick Start

Get started in under 5 minutes:

# Install SolanaVault
cargo install solanavault-cli

# Start light client with initial balance
vault-light-client start --balance 50000

# Use standard Solana CLI - it now connects through SolanaVault
solana balance

# Build from source
git clone https://github.com/solanavault/solanavault
cd solanavault
cargo build --release

# Run decentralized gateway
./target/release/vault-rpc-decentralized --gateway-mode

# Build and run full node
cargo build --release
./target/release/vault-node --storage-capacity 100GB
