Data Storage Layer

Definition

A data storage layer is the component of a system responsible for persistently retaining information. This layer manages how data is written, read, updated, and deleted, ensuring its availability and integrity. In blockchain technology, this often refers to the underlying distributed ledger where transactional records are immutably stored. It forms the foundational infrastructure for all operations and applications built upon the system. The efficiency and security of this layer are paramount for overall system performance.
