“Decentralized file storage systems require chunking to prevent delay attacks caused by large files. Without cryptographically verifiable file chunking (Merkle branches), users would need to download the entire file before verifying it. If the file's hash turned out to be incorrect after spending a lot of time downloading the large file, then it can cause a delay in service because the user would need to restart that file download process with another relay.

The delay in service can be prevented when using the Scionic Merkle DAG Trees to verify each chunk of the file one by one (branch by branch) immediately after downloading them…”

“H.O.R.N.E.T. relays let relay operators view how much data each nostr app is occupying, allowing them to toggle which applications and file types they want to support.”
