Abstract

There different types of blockchains and their possible use for creating an image repository are investigated. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the advantages and limitations of different types of blockchains in terms of image storage. Data processing methods were applied to analyze the technical characteristics of various types of blockchains and comparative analysis of efficiency and reliability parameters. The results were obtained, which made it possible to formulate the principles of choosing the type of blockchain for creating image storage and to identify the advantages and limitations of each type from the point of view of image storage, depending on the priorities of the software product. The conclusion is that the use of blockchain provides a high level of security and integrity of images, some types of blockchains exhibit high speed and scalability. However, it is important to understand that the preservation process may remain centralized, so more research is needed to optimally use and develop these technologies. Future research may include an analysis of the possibilities of ensuring the privacy of participants and the development of standards for the sharing of multimedia content via blockchain. It is important to consider that the use of blockchain can contribute to increasing transparency and trust in the process of storing and sharing multimedia content, which is important for the development of the digital economy. However, in order to achieve the full potential of blockchain in the field of multimedia, it is necessary to develop effective strategies to solve the problems of privacy, scalability and centralization that arise when implementing these technologies. Such a comprehensive approach will provide a stable and effective infrastructure for managing multimedia content in the digital environment.
