Today marks a major milestone in the decentralized science (DeSci) space as the highly anticipated Data Lake Chain officially goes live at 18:00 CET. Built on cutting-edge blockchain technology, Data Lake Mainnet is set to be an important piece of infrastructure needed to propel the DeSci movement into the future and build useful Dapp, starting with the Data Lake Application for managing informed consents for research.
Welcome to Data Lake Mainnet: A New Era for DeSci
The launch of Data Lake Mainnet introduces a powerful Layer 3 blockchain designed to meet the unique demands of healthcare and research. Leveraging the scalability and low-cost operations of Arbitrum Orbit stack, Data Lake Chain is positioned to become the backbone of decentralized healthcare and scientific collaboration, enabling secure, fast, and compliant management of consent data.
Starting from today, developers, researchers, and institutions can connect to Data Lake Mainnet using the following parameters:
- Chain Name: Data Lake Mainnet
- Chain ID: 140
- RPC: https://rpc.data-lake.co
- Explorer: https://explorer.data-lake.co
Powered by Arbitrum Nova and AnyTrust Technology
Data Lake Chain is built on top of Arbitrum Nova, an AnyTrust Rollup, which combines the security benefits of Ethereum with the reduced cost and speed of Layer 2 scaling solutions. AnyTrust is a variant of Arbitrum Nitro technology that significantly lowers transaction costs by accepting a mild trust assumption through a Data Availability Committee.
The traditional Arbitrum Rollup relies on Ethereum Layer 1 to post compressed batches of transaction data, which is an essential yet costly process. In contrast, AnyTrust shifts the responsibility of data storage to an external Data Availability Committee (the Committee). The Committee comprises N members, and the system assumes that at least two members are honest. This setup ensures that even if N – 1 Committee members are compromised, the data remains accessible, as at least one honest member will provide it when needed. This ensures the integrity and functionality of the blockchain without relying solely on Ethereum, drastically reducing transaction costs while maintaining security.
What Comes Next?
As Data Lake Mainnet goes live, the possibilities for decentralized healthcare and research are endless. Researchers, developers, and institutions are invited to join the network, deploy dApps, and begin leveraging the power of blockchain to transform how medical data is handled. Users will be able to bridge their $LAKE tokens to the mainnet and begin interacting with the network shortly.
The official launch of Data Lake Chain today at 18:00 CET marks the beginning of a new era for DeSci, bringing us one step closer to a future where data is truly democratized, and science is accessible to all. Data Lake Chain leverages $LAKE token as the native token and will be bringing onboard important science and research stakeholders as Node Operators.
