1 STR ATOS WHITEPAPER 2021. STRATOS . WHITEPAPER . Published in 2021. 1. STR ATOS WHITEPAPER 2021. STRATOS is a large-scale distributed infrastructure network. STRATOS provides three-in-one resources which include computation, storage and network traffic. STRATOS uses Proof-of-Traffic algorithms to reward infrastructure participants and contributors in accordance with network traffic. At the same time, STRATOS uses its own blockchain to measure the usage of computing resources (computation, storage and network traffic), and uses Practical Byzantine Fault-Tolerant consensus algorithm (PBFT) to integrate the network Proof-of-Traffic consensus algorithm deeply, providing settlement services and related financial payment services for network providers and network users in an efficient, fair and transparent manner. STRATOS is a decentralized data mesh for blockchain, it defines the next generation of decentralized computing services that can serve Dapp, allowing smart contract developers such as Uniswap, AAVE.

2 And NFT Dapps to use decentralized infrastructure to deploy, store and execute their code and data, so the community developers can publish the system without complicated network deployment. The developers can fully focus on the product business logic without worrying about the underlying infrastructure, making development and operations more effective and reducing development costs. STRATOS aims to build a distributed network ecosystem with infrastructure providers, middleware developers, and Dapp developers for common development, sharing value, and efficient commitment to provide credible, reliable, and low-cost applications for the prosperity of blockchain applications. STRATOS will offer an indestructible environment for all the Dapps and no one will take your application down. 2. STR ATOS WHITEPAPER 2021. TABLE OF INDEX. 1. CURRENT SITUATION AND THOUGHT 6.

Current situation and thought Thoughts triggered by Bitcoin, ethereum smart contract and blockchain technology In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto introduced a method which is implemented entirely through peer-to-peer technology Electronic cash system in his paper <Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System> [1]. It enables online payments to be directly initiated by one party and paid to the other party without any financial institution in the middle. Bitcoin created a precedent for a decentralized encrypted digital currency, becoming the first fully distributed digital encrypted currency that can complete transactions without any intermediary.

5 To date, the total market value of Bitcoin has exceeded $290 billion. People usually call the digital cryptocurrency system represented by Bitcoin the blockchain technology version Between 2013 and 2014, Vitalik Buterin proposed the concept of ethereum . ethereum is an open source, public blockchain platform with a smart contract function. ethereum provides an internal Turing complete scripting language, which allows users to build and process peer-to-peer smart contracts or transaction types by using its dedicated encrypted digital currency ethereum (ETH). Up to now, the total market value of ethereum has exceeded 48 billion dollars. People usually refer to the combination of digital encryption currency represented by ethereum and smart contracts as version of blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is a self-referential data structure used to store a large amount of transaction information. Each record is linked in an orderly manner from back to front.

6 It is open and transparent, cannot be tampered with, and is easy to trace. The blockchain itself uses computer network technology to compulsorily process many asynchronously executed nodes in different ways of synchronous information processing to achieve the consensus of all nodes in the system. This process does not require any centralized node to provide services or credit endorsement. In short, it greatly reduces the cost of establishing credit among all nodes in the system. Once this kind of point-to-point credit verification is applied in a real business environment, it will greatly eliminate the cost of trust between various nodes in the value chain, so the transaction information which is transferred between nodes can be valued differently without third-party verification or endorsement. 6. STR ATOS WHITEPAPER 2021. Since human society began to enter the stage of commodity economy, all commercial activities are inseparable from the effective flow of three types of values, namely information flow, logistics and value flow.

7 Any behavior that effectively improves efficiency or reduces costs in the liquidity of any type of value can create a huge incremental trading market for the commodity economy. The birth of advanced transportation tools, such as ships, trains and airplanes, have greatly improved the efficiency of logistics, reduced logistics costs, and created the possibility of commodity circulation in the global market. The inventions of the telegraph, telephone, fax machine and the Internet have greatly improved the efficiency of information flow and reduced the cost of information flow, so that commodity information can reach a wider range of consumer groups and meet or even give birth to transaction needs. The emergence of banknotes, checks, credit cards, and electronic payment methods have greatly improved the efficiency of value transfer, greatly reduced costs, and greatly accelerated the capital turnover of all parties, so that less capital can be used to meet the needs of larger-scale transactions.

8 The essence of blockchain technology is to combine information flow and value flow into one, and at the same time, make it possible to complete point-to-point direct transaction confirmation without any third-party providing credit endorsement or intermediary services, which makes the value chain in any commercial field. The transactions between all participants (that is, participants in all transaction behaviors) can be automatically executed based on the smart contract developed between them, and the execution process is open and transparent, cannot be tampered with and can be traced. This greatly eliminates the cost of trust between transaction participants, and simplifies the multiple, multi-layer, asynchronous transaction process in the value chain into a one-time automatic transaction process in which all participants participate. Such a transaction method will counteract all participants in the value chain, and promote them to establish a consensus mechanism from the perspective of maximizing the benefits of the overall value chain, thereby greatly changing the production relationship between the participants, from the original distrust and even opposition to each other.

9 The mode of infringing interests is transformed into a mode of establishing collective consensus, transferring and sharing interests, and further liberating the productivity of all parties in the overall value chain. Although the various application ideas and scenario designs of blockchain technology are blooming, all attempts to implement these ideas and scenarios into applications face many common problems: 1. A completely decentralized design concept cannot coexist with security and high efficiency at the same time ( the impossible triangle paradox ). Therefore, the consensus mechanism of STRATOS and the design of the network topology must achieve a compromise and balance between the three. 7. STR ATOS WHITEPAPER 2021. FIGURE 1. The impossible triangle paradox 2. At present, with the exception of a very small number of companies, the application and development of blockchain all encounters a lack of infrastructure and middleware, and the bottleneck of throughput, making the possibility of designing complex smart contracts almost non-existent.

10 This prevents the possibility of using blockchain technology to solve various demand scenarios in the real world. 3. Blockchain, as an emerging technology, lacks regulatory laws and benign institutional design, combined with the nancial attributes of blockchain technology itself, the cost of evildoing by blockchain practitioners has become very low, which has led to various nancial scams and air currency projects. Deepening the public's negative impression of blockchain technology, making the popularization and implementation of blockchain technology encounter greater obstacles. Decentralized Storage problems and challenges faced by public chain and DApp developers In a decentralized computing network, how to solve the access reliability of network nodes and how to deal with the sudden increase of large-scale network traffic effectively while taking into account efficiency and cost has always been a difficult problem to solve. And these uncertain and unstable problems have caused headaches for many blockchain projects that require storage services, because no team will rely on services for which reliability and stability are uncertain.
