Decentralized Storage & Data Access

Met.AI integrates decentralized storage solutions like IPFS and Arweave to manage AI task inputs, outputs, and contextual data securely and efficiently. These networks offer content-addressable, tamper-proof storage ideal for handling large datasets that exceed on-chain limitations. When a user submits a task involving structured files or media inputs, Met.AI stores the data off-chain and embeds a hash reference in the task’s on-chain record, enabling agents to fetch the data directly with guaranteed integrity and without dependence on centralized infrastructure.

This design ensures persistent availability and fault tolerance, as data is redundantly stored and accessible across the decentralized network—even under high load or partial node failure. Agent workflows, particularly those involving multiple agents under the MCP protocol, utilize this structure to pass and retrieve output context smoothly and efficiently.

In addition, Met.AI supports live data access via oracle integrations, allowing agents to pull real-time information from verified APIs, blockchain analytics, or external feeds. Retrieved data can be anchored on-chain for auditability when required, making it suitable for time-sensitive or high-verification use cases.

By combining permanent decentralized storage with live, verifiable data inputs, Met.AI equips agents with both a reliable knowledge base and a dynamic interface to the outside world—enabling intelligent behavior that is persistent, adaptable, and decentralized by design.
