daBackend

Decentralised Backend is the overall structuring and release of both the engine and the Ponder API. Both components will be wrapped up and released on a centralised provider like AWS initially but Ponder team's end goal is to decentralise the infrastructure hence the name “deBackend” through providers like 4everland, dFinity, IPFS, Arweave and more. Ponders end goal is to become decentralised as per philosophies the founders believe in and operate on its own chain eventually where each node will run both the engine and the API to collect, aggregate, analyse and serve comparison data to its end users.

Along with deployment changes from centralised to decentralised, the long-term vision is to open source the code behind the engine to allow engineers around the globe to extend and improve the feature set and earn PNDR tokens in return for their efforts.
