Hirys to all irys believers
again, irys isn’t just about putting data on-chain
it’s about keeping it safe for the long haul.
to make that happen, miners must regularly submit storage proofs showing they’re actively holding onto their assigned files.
these proofs aren’t optional , they’re the ticket to earning block production rights.
anyone in the network can call out a miner suspected of slacking.
this kicks off a challenge-response phase, where the miner has a short window to prove their data is intact.
fail the test, and part of their stake gets slashed.
the result? automatic, transparent accountability , no hidden data loss, just continuous proof of storage.
