Ara Blocks is a community-driven decentralized and distributed compute and content delivery platform. Ara enables any device in the world to become part of a global supercomputer, database, and delivery network all at once by utilizing its unused processing, storage, and bandwidth capacity. Together, these devices form the Ara network, an ecosystem in which anyone can participate and benefit. Ara platform is comprised of three core services and systems:

• AraID: AraID establishes secure, decentralized, and verifiable global identities for all agents and content on the Ara platform, giving control of data back to their rightful owners.
• Decentralized Content Delivery Network (DCDN): DCDN serves as Ara’s network of underlying peer-to-peer, secure distributed file systems and storage networks (AFSs) which support content integrity, incentives, versioning, and decentralized identities.
• Protocol Suite: Ara is connected through a secure suite of protocols which enable trustless interoperability between DCDN, AraID, and the Ethereum Blockchain.
