Proof-of-Availability is a protocol that ensures data or services remain accessible and operational. It requires participants to demonstrate that they can provide requested data or services within specified timeframes. This mechanism is crucial for systems where continuous access is a fundamental requirement, such as decentralized storage or cloud services.
