Round 2 / Sophon-gateway

Sophon-Gateway reduces the complexity involved in integrating storage providers with blockchain networks. By acting as an intermediary, it simplifies the deployment process, making it more accessible and efficient for SPs. The gateway increases the security of SP access by eliminating the need for external IPs and exposed wallet services. This reduces potential vulnerabilities and enhances the overall security posture of the network. When an independent component is initiated, its service interface is registered with Sophon-Gateway. This registration ensures that the chain service component can request the appropriate cluster’s service API through the gateway, facilitating seamless communication and integration. By configuring the storage pool with an SSL certificate, Sophon-Gateway ensures that the connection between the cluster and the storage pool is secure, protecting data integrity and confidentiality. Storage providers can easily register multiple clients (wallets/proofs) with the storage pool, achieving high availability and ensuring continuous service delivery.
