Decentralization is powerful โ but it only works if reliability is guaranteed.
In decentralized storage, users donโt care about buzzwords. They care about one thing:
Can I access my data when I need it?
Thatโs why the Network Availability Score (NAS) matters.
Itโs not marketing โ itโs BTFSโ real accountability layer.
NAS Isnโt a Vanity Metric โ Itโs Proof of Reliability
Instead of trusting Storage Providersโ claims, BTFS measures performance continuously using real network conditions.
If the network says itโs reliable, NAS proves it.
What NAS Measures (And Why Itโs Weighted)
๐๏ธโ๐จ๏ธ Latency (20%)
Faster response = smoother retrieval and better UX.
๐ท Uptime (80%)
Availability is the product. A fast node that goes offline is still unreliable.
BTFS makes the message clear:
If youโre not online, youโre not trustworthy.
Why NAS Is a Game-Changer
NAS doesnโt just measure performance โ it shapes it.
It helps BTFS:
โ identify and phase out weak nodes
โ reward high-quality providers
โ give developers confidence to build at scale
โ ensure users get predictable access
โ strengthen trust in decentralized storage
Availability isnโt a feature โ itโs the foundation.
And NAS is how BTFS proves it.
