Analysis of Shadow Cloud
About Shadow Cloud
Shadow Cloud, developed by GenesysGo, is a decentralized data storage network built on the Solana blockchain. This platform enables users to access permanent or mutable storage options by utilizing the $SHDW token. Built on the Solana blockchain, Shadow Drive proves to be a suitable choice for web3 projects with data storage requirements, especially for managing NFT collections. Moreover, several other projects are currently exploring its potential to expand its applications to various data storage needs across different domains.
Shadow Cloud's mission is to provide a high-performance and affordable cloud storage platform, enhanced with D.A.G.G.E.R. distributed ledger technology that empowers businesses and developers of all aspects to build secure, performant and scalable Web2/Web3 applications.
Shadow Cloud's objectives are to continually evolve a stable high-performance Shadow Cloud Storage Platform powered by a decentralized network of operators. Shadow is the only commodity cloud network designed to democratize the hundreds of billions earned each year by traditional cloud platforms without sacrificing performance. Through thoughtful design, the Shadow Cloud will offer multiple service options which leverage our distributed ledger technology. The result is vertically integrated, L1-specific storage and compute offering that greatly improves developer experience. This will also enable the offering of distributed ledger technology "as-a-service" giving builders and businesses more granular options to customize their desired degree of Web2 or Web3 exposures.


Purposes of Dashboard
In this dashboard, we have conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the Shadow Cloud storage network from various perspectives. The first part of the dashboard focuses on tracking key performance indicators for the network, including:
- Transactions over time and the corresponding actions taken.
- The number of new and active users.
- The count of active storage drives and the total amount of storage used.
- The total value of $SHDW paid for storage.
After thoroughly examining the Shadow Cloud storage network, the second part of our analysis revolves around studying the SHDW token's price. This section includes an investigation of the token's price trends over time, price fluctuations, and percentage changes in its value within different time frames.
Moving on to the third part, we delve into the status of SHDW token holders and the token distribution mechanism among them.
