2. Value Layer

The Value Layer underpins the operational and economic aspects of the Hash Network, orchestrated through a series of smart contracts. These contracts ensure the network's integrity, compliance, and efficiency by managing key aspects like provenance, permanence, and prioritization of content.

• Provenance Smart Contract: This contract ensures that the origin and history of all content are verifiable and transparent, providing an immutable record of creation, authorship, and attribution.

• Permanence Smart Contract: This contract focuses on ensuring long-term data availability through mechanisms like the Permanent Access Fund, which supports ongoing costs for decentralized gateways, and redundancy across multiple decentralized storage solutions to prevent data loss.

• Prioritization Smart Contract: This contract helps in organizing and managing the relevance of data, ensuring that the most pertinent and recent content is prioritized for faster access.

By leveraging these layers, the Hash Network provides a robust and scalable framework that enhances decentralized content access, ensuring performance, security, and longevity for all digital assets within the ecosystem.
