ContentNode
ContentNode is a software component used in decentralized content delivery networks to store, serve, and manage access to user-generated content and its associated metadata. In systems like Audius, ContentNodes operate alongside other network elements to enable distributed media streaming while reducing reliance on central servers.
A ContentNode typically provides a storage backend, a content-serving API, and an indexing layer that maps content
Content delivery in such networks involves uploading content to one or more ContentNodes, which then replicate
Security and privacy considerations for ContentNodes include encryption of stored data, authentication of clients, access controls
ContentNodes are a key element of decentralized media platforms, enabling scalable, resilient distribution by decoupling storage
