Two different concepts

• Proof of Retrievability

SP can prove they have access to the file. But no guarantee user has access to the file

• Proof of Access

Essential components

• Trusted Observers
• All Blockchain (post the file on-chain) (bottlenecked by chain throughput)
• Sample a small committee (bottlenecked by committee throughput)
• Technique
• Random sampling
• Policying

Arweave (Blockchain + Random sampling)

Metrics DAO (DAO committee + Random sampling)

Retriev (Referees + Policying)

Who are the observers?

• Applications
• L1 consensus
