Encoded Chunk Distribution

Definition

Encoded chunk distribution is a data storage strategy where information is broken into smaller, encoded segments and then dispersed across multiple storage nodes. The encoding process often includes redundancy, allowing the original data to be reconstructed even if some chunks are lost or corrupted. This method enhances data durability, availability, and resistance to censorship in decentralized storage systems. It optimizes data retrieval and system resilience.
