Saito: Should you consider it?

Over the past few years, scaling blockchain has been an important step. Now, networks like Polkadot offer fast confirmations, enterprise-level reliability, support parachains, and layer-2 networks, and other new features.

Open access nodes are required to keep them decentralized. But, as the costs of running these networks have grown, a few volunteers are providing the open access nodes. A couple of operators dominate the public blockchains. For instance, Infura dominates the Ethereum ecosystem.

These networks don’t have a way to provide infrastructure. If the private sector can create a business model, then the model only can pay it. But, the most profitable and attractive business models create centralization and monopolization.

Saito solves this problem. It has an application stack that pays participants not for staking or mining but for running user-facing infrastructure. There will be money to run the necessary infrastructure as long as there are users for any parachain or blockchain.

What is Saito?

Saito

Saito is delivering an open internet. One can run Saito built blockchain apps in their browser without non-open infrastructure or closed plugins. Additionally, it rewards its nodes to run the equipment to keep other networks free and decentralized.

Benefits of Saito

  • Powerful Blockchain – It supports data-intensive apps like games and social media.
  • Open Infrastructure – It pays for infrastructure that connects blockchains to users. The network deploys more infrastructure when more applications run on it.
  • Polkadot Ecosystem – It provides full support for Polkadot and other leading Web 3.0 blockchains.
  • Web DApp Platform – It provides an easy-to-use DApp platform so developers can immediately get started.
  • Browser Support – Saito apps run directly in the browser, without closed plugins or private API providers.
  • Anti-Monopolistic – Shortage of connection points is not there because anyone can start a node, and access-points make money servicing users.
  • Open Source – It is a decentralized open-source software stack powered by a stylish economic design.

Investors

In 2018, Saito closed a $2M in seed round backed by sophisticated blockchain investors in Asia, including Neo Global Capital, INBlockchain, Fengshui Capital, BCH Angel Fund, Fission Capital, among others.

Some of the Investors

Tokenomics

To take part in the Saito ecosystem, users need Saito tokens (SAI). These tiny fees altogether produce the economic incentive for nodes to provide infrastructure for other parachains and blockchains.

Users can purchase SAI to participate in the ecosystem. But in practice, most users will not need to spend money to use Saito applications.  As Saito apps run directly in the browser, users can receive passive tokens by installing applications. For instance, an advertising module that shows advertisements on Saito applications without tracking.

Dynamics of Token Circulation

It is the approach for eradicating monopolization pressures on the web3 layer. Connectivity providing nodes can’t prevent users from installing revenue-creating applications.

Takeaway

Just as proof-of-work (PoW) incentives mining and proof-of-stake (PoS) incentivizes staking, Saito incentivizes the running of open network infrastructure. It is a simple yet smart solution that fixes the economic problems in all PoW and PoS class networks. So Saito becomes, unlike any other blockchain that exists so far.

Looking at their structure and applications; which are presently up and working; Saito is a generational shift in blockchain technology. One should definitely look into it. If one doesn’t want to invest in it, then it is worth using their applications to earn incentives in the form of tokens.
