|
|
|
- **Rising Storage Costs**: As the volume of data continues to grow, maintaining and managing indices requires more storage and increases associated costs.
|
|
|
- **User Experience**: Fragmented data availability can result in provider lock-in, forcing users to rely on multiple RPC providers to access all their digital assets across different protocols.
|

|
|
-Aura provides performant, decentralized and comprehensive indexing of digital asset data and addresses these challenges. Key features include:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- **Automated Synchronization**: Ensures data integrity across the network by allowing nodes to assist each other in case of overload, ensuring consistency.
|
|
|
-- **Integrated Media CDN**: Provides optimized media delivery, significantly improving load times for pages displaying digital assets.
|
|
|
-- **Support for Light Clients**: Allows node operators to index only specific protocols or sub-protocols (e.g., Core assets or a particular Bubblegum tree). Light clients can function without running a full Solana node or Geyser plugin, instead relying on updates from the Aura network. This results in considerably lower infrastructure costs compared to maintaining a full Solana node.
|
|
|
-- **Implements the Digital Asset Standard API**: Implements the DAS API, which is the primary interface for accessing digital asset data on the SVM.
