FireNode

FireNode™ is a Beta Program being released by ORDO to test bed its storage infrastructure.

Summary

FireNode™ works much the same way many IPFS networks work such as NFT.Storage, except we allow for a few additional options by inserting a layer of functionality in between the client and the IPFS network.

• Privacy - With a middleman layer between the client and IPFS it allows for our network to privately store the otherwise public hash to your file. Our network can then generate a new link that is returned back to the client. This can be used in multiple ways:

  • Explicit Gated Access - Regardless of who has the link, it will require API Authentication in order to view the file.

  • Link Based Access - Access is restricted to whoever has the link

  • Time Based Access - With the url being independent of the IPFS hash, you can regenerate a new link at anytime allowing for shared links to expire allowing you to constantly maintain control of who has access to your files

Beta Program Notice

Please keep in mind we are currently in Beta on this tool. That means that we are constantly changing and adding features to our codebase and it will change frequently. Data will always be safe, however it may become necessary during beta for us to change methods by which a client adds, removes, or generally interacts with the network. During beta we will update our documentation to reflect any changes we make but will NOT push out notifications to users. It's important that during this phase of our program if you are using it to make sure you are paying attention to our documentation updates.
