Nitro Labs announces “Data Anchor” to reduce Solana-based on-chain storage fees by 100,000 times
Nitro Labs plans to improve the user experience by launching a data anchor. In this respect, the data anchor is currently included in Termina, Nitro Labs’ modular infrastructure suite. It focuses on supporting applications that scale locally within the Solana ecosystem.
Traditionally, storing 1GB of data in Solana has been extremely expensive and inefficient in terms of functionality. However, Data Anchor provides an effective solution using a toolkit that allows developers to send data from a variety of distributed nodes. It also allows you to successfully retrieve data via the built-in indexer and also allows you to fix the encryption hash. This development maintains the verifiability of encryption while poses for high costs and backend complexity.
Botanika and Ping are already using data anchors, indicating important adoption in the Depin sector
According to Nitro Labs, the data anchor has already witnessed widespread adoption among the well-known Depin projects as well as prominent names, including Botanika and Ping. Additionally, the system guarantees long-term audits and data recovery, even after a 2-3 day Solana ledger window. This is a notable feature for contributor verification and historical analysis. By providing these groundbreaking features, the platform invites developers to begin using Data Anchor via Nitro Labs.
