About to beta: How far is sharder from becoming China's storj?

Many of blockchain enthusiasts may never be heard about Sharder, or that to do with Sharder? Today, let me introduce this project for you, the counterpart of storj: Sharder aims to build a Shared incentive blockchain storage and data network.

The industry status
The importance of data nowadays beyond each previous eras, traditional storage industry cannot hide its weakness in the wave of big data anymore. On one hand, the growth in storage capacity lags far behind that of data so that the demand for storage is far from being quenched, on the other hand, there is a great amount of storage space of individuals and enterprises lies idle and causes great waste of resources. Furthermore, the traditional storage turned individuals and enterprises’ back to the dangers imperceptibly, which will deeply harm the security of data.

Besides, such as Non-encryption, non-open source, data can be easily abused, data can be tampered with, non-permanent storage, high price, high construction cost etc for traditional storage industry are inevitable, even if the giant company Amazon, which holds more than 40 percent of profit in the industry, will confront these situation eventually.
Where is the way out?

What is Bean Cloud?
Bean cloud is the blockchain data storage platform developed by Sharder. Their aim is to provide the following services.
1.Secure and trustful protection of data storage: Decentralized storage protocol based on blockchain technology, which is performed simultaneously through many decentralized nodes to encrypt and backup files. It has features such as preventing loss, tamper-proof and leak-proof.
2.Fair and impartial electronic signing up of contract: Contract needs certificate to get inside of the chain. The electronic contract visa is signed through the Bean Cloud and encrypted storage is carried out at the same time to obtain the blockchain deposit certificate and prevent tampering with false risks.It has authority and impartiality."Forging contracts, tampering with contracts, repudiating contracts" will no longer exist.
3.Decentralized storage based on blockchain system: The cloud storage targeted on provide data storage service with Low delay, durability and high reliability. To prevent your data from threat of internal failures. Just like for hard desk, You can view and download your data and create file systems at any time, and so on.

Futures
As far as we know, Sharder has finished their alpha testing on March, providing protection of data storage and electronic signing up of contract with an encrypt way for important information like: Documents, original works, electronic contracts and patents of individuals and enterprises, To ensure that the blockchain data can be traceable and tamper-proof. Sharder also brought in Judicial appraisal center and arbitration institution and other institutions with judicial effect as “provers” to provide POA service such as notarization. They produced 10 e-commerce practitioners and internet platforms in the alpha, providing secure and efficient service of data storage.

In the future, the Bean cloud storage service that rely on openly Sharder chain will allows personal users to run Sharder client application to access the idle storage space into Sharder network and get rewarded.

Progress
Except to the Sharder commercial application “Bean cloud” has been accessed in the Alpha, the testing chain is also launched in the same time, and the block browser in the alpha too. They have finished the community white paper as draft, The global communities are also building on and improving.

Sharder’s token SS has listed on few exchanges at end of the April. meanwhile, the Sharder foundation held a bounty campaign for public. People participated the campaign to carve up the 300000 SS in total through joining telegram group, and watching video and so on.

Sharder is growing up, the more people support them, the bigger and healthy it will be.
