Bluzelle is a decentralized service provider that aims to allow users to create on-demand, scalable databases for blockchain applications. Bluzelle's database works like a torrent or a content delivery network where data is retrieved from multiple nodes in real-time. When data is uploaded to the network it is broken into pieces, or shards, which are fully copied to every node in a cluster. When a DApp requests data, shards are pulled from the closest local nodes or in parallel from the faster nodes on the network, which can reduce latency and increase performance. Nodes within a cluster are spread out in different geographies to reduce the impact of local events like power outages or natural disasters. If a node were to go offline in a cluster the data is still maintained by the other nodes in that group. Consensus is created at a swarm level, where groups of nodes agree on a local consensus. This differs from most blockchain applications, which rely on a network-wide state of consensus.
