DriveChain (on-chain storage)
in progress
Community Manager
Drivechains are a decentralized storage device in the Everscale network. At its core, a Drivechain is a Workchain that is optimized in order to store large amounts of data. Public testing is expected in Q2. However, the mainnet launch may be shifted slightly to Q3. Drivechains will become the foundation for an on-chain repository.

🎥 Everscale Drivechain: what is it and how does it work?
Drivechains are decentralized storage
In Everscale, in addition to the usual workchains for data processing, there is a type of chain called a drivechain. Drivechains are decentralized storage device in the Everscale network. At its core, a drivechain is a workchain that is optimized in order to store large amounts of data.
Drivechains have special smart contracts located on them. In order to store a file on a drivechain, you need to deploy a “file index” smart contract (similar to the index used on the Unix or Linux operating systems). This “file index” contains certain information that allows you to store and extract files, as well as pay for that storage. more
